Ghaziabad: Home to 3,500 families, but Bharat City township lacks a wall
GHAZIABAD: Despite GDA orders, the builder of the Bharat City township failed to complete the construction work, which included work on the society’s boundary wall. According to the residents, work has been stalled by the builder for the past 4 years.
The situation poses safety hazards and risks to residents’ health and hygiene, they said. “This society is open from three sides. The builder has taken the complete project cost from all flat owners but still has not constructed the boundary walls,” said Kanisk Saxena, a Bharat City resident.
Bharat City, located near the Hindon air base station, houses over 3,500 families but still lacks an STP as well. “Even though residents have been living here for over seven years now, the builder does not provide these basic amenities,” said another resident.
Earlier, GDA had issued a letter to the builder stating the necessary work such as the construction of boundary wall, provision of covered car parking and other basic facilities be completed by October 20. Despite this, there has been no progress on the ground.
“We have raised this concern with several officials, but none have acted to rectify the situation. Many families live here, don’t we need any security? I don’t think this area has become so safe that we can live without boundary walls,” said another resident, who wished to remain anonymous.
“In relation to the above, a meeting was held with the developer and Buyer Association in which both the parties agreed regarding the problems like parking, licence renewal of completion lift of the project etc. Complaints are being received due to lack of resolution. Therefore, you are directed to immediately resolve the above mentioned complaint,” said the notice issued by the GDA.
“Make sure to inform the undersigned in writing in the office, otherwise action will be taken against you. The authority will be bound to take action as per the rules, the entire responsibility of which will be yours,” it added.
Despite multiple attempts, the developer did not receive TOI’s calls.
