The MCG takeover is due, and residents are unwilling to pay the area’s maintenance agency. But this face-off has led to non-payment of salaries to Profac staff.
Awaiting takeover by the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG), residents of Sushant Lok I have not been paying their maintenance charges. As a result, the maintenance agency, Profac Services Pvt Ltd, has not been able to pay salaries to its employees for the past six or seven months.
"Residents had certain issues with regard to electricity and water supply — but those have been resolved now. They must now start paying Profac. It seems quite a few people are still waiting for the takeover," said Sudhir Sachdeva, founder of My Sushant Lok, a local residents' group.
Most residents, however, feel differently.
"The MCG takeover is due, and hence we don't want to pay Profac. Why should we pay both property tax and Profac. That’s unfair," said a resident, on condition of anonymity.
Profac staff remained unavailable for comment.
