They met Luv Kumar, SSP of Gautam Budh Nagar, and demanded that he file an FIR against the buider.
Homebuyers of Amrapali Heartbeat City, a residential project in Sector 107, Noida, on Wednesday met Luv Kumar, SSP of Gautam Budh Nagar, at his office in Sector 14A, Noida. They demanded that the SSP lodge an FIR against the developer as he failed to deliver flats on time.
The project was launched by Three Platinum Softech Private Limited, Pebbles Prolease Heartbeat City and Amrapali Group in 2009-10 with the promise of a 2014 possession. However, the project got delayed because of a land dispute between Noida authority and landowners in Bhangel village. The project was finally freed from legal battles last year, when the contesting party settled for a higher compensation. Amrapali Heartbeat City, launched on 30,000 sq m, is supposed to have 2,100 flats. Civil work has been completed but construction was disrupted in 2013.
Puneet Parashar, a flatbuyer, told City Spidey, “Both Noida Authority and the builder have cheated us by hiding from us the land dispute pending in Allahabad High Court and the Supreme Court.”
“The builder also keeps changing directors, making things even more difficult for us to approach someone in the company. Project directors have been changed 13 times in the past few years!” he added.
Another complaint of homebuyers was that the builder had registered the project as a new one on RERA and pegged the delivery year as 2023.
On September 11, buyers went to the Sector 39 police station to lodge a complaint against the developer, but failed to do so. This time around, they are happy that the SSP has ordered the station officer of Sector 39 to lodge an FIR against the builder.
Buyers said a large part of their trust in the project, which had made them invest in it and pay up to 90 per cent of the flat amount, had to do with Indian cricketer MS Dhoni being the Amrapali brand ambassador. But now even that had been broken.
