Homebuyers at a recent protest in Noida
It has been nearly two months since a state-appointed, high-level committee of ministers visited Noida, holding out hope to thousands of homebuyers who have lost their hard-earned savings in projects across Noida and Greater Noida.
The committee — comprising state industries minister Satish Mahana, urban housing minister Suresh Khanna and state minister Suresh Rana — had a meeting with homebuyers, builders and authority officials on August 30.
But the progress so far? Zilt!
Shweta Bharti, a buyer from Noida, said, “We were hopeful that the state government would understand our plight and bring us justice. During the meeting, homebuyers were assured that they would be informed about any further developments. But we have had no information so far.”
After the August 30 meeting, a delegation of Amrapali homebuyers again met the committee in Lucknow on September 14.
KK Kausal, an Amprali homebuyer, said, “We went to Lucknow to meet all the three ministers, but we returned with nothing but empty assurances.”
City Spidey spoke to Mahana to know the progress on the issue.
The minister said the committee had prepared a detailed report and submitted it to the office of UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
He further added, “For the past six years, homebuyers have been fighting against builders — and they have had no justice. But our government is committed to their cause. Slowly, all the culprits are getting caught — this is no small matter, and so things will take time.”
The minister also said that the committee had made several recommendations in its reports, but refused to share those recommendations.
