The much-touted meets, aimed to resolve buyer-builder issues in Noida and Greater Noida, have had little impact on improving the situation for homeowners.
The much-touted UP government move to solve buyer-builder issues in Noida and Greater Noida through triparty meetings seems to be fast losing steam.
The recently concluded meetings, chaired by senior officials of the authorities, have revealed that builders have scant respect for such meetings, and do not bother to keep commitments made during these meetings.
Surender Kushwaha, president of the buyers’ association of Divine Meadows, a residential project in Sector 108, Noida, told City Spidey, “Noida Authority sought no commitment from the builder during the triparty meeting. The additional CEO had said that an inspection would be conducted by the planning department within a week, but no inspection has taken place so far.”
Shyam Sunder, a resident of Supertech Capetown, a residential society in Sector 74, said that about a month ago, junior officials of Noida Authority came for inspection to the society, but the visit was a mere eyewash. “Residents showed them various problems related to water leakage, incomplete basement parking and other issues. Though these officials noted down everything, no action has been taken till date.”
Hitesh Kumar, a buyer of Amrapali Dream Valley, a residential project in Noida Extension, told City Spidey that at the triparty meeting, officials of Greater Noida Authority asked the builder to submit a tower-wise report within a week, but even after the lapse of two weeks nothing has happened. “Officials of the authority assured buyers that a team would come for inspection, but the team is yet to arrive,” he added.
In sync with guidelines from the UP government, Noida Authority and Greater Noida Authority started to conduct triparty meetings between the buyers, builders and authority officials. The aim was to make the builder accountable for incomplete projects and get the remaining work finished within a mutually decided deadline.
In numerous such meetings, buyers complained of late possession and illegal constructions within the complexes. They also questioned how the authorities could issue completion certificates (CC) and occupancy certificates (OC) to builders without inspection of basic amenities, such as a firefighting system, and electricity and water connections.
Not satisfied with the outcome of such triparty meetings, homebuyers are once again seeking an appointment with UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to apprise him of the ground reality.
