GURUGRAM: The district administration is organizing a meeting with developers and representatives from various residents’ welfare associations (RWAs) to discuss complaints regarding the lack of implementation of recommended repairs from structural audit reports of residential buildings.
The meeting will be chaired by Deputy Commissioner Ajay Kumar on March 17, as stated by officials from the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP). Developers and RWA representatives have been instructed to present status reports on the actions taken so far.
According to DTCP, residents have raised concerns that the repair and strengthening recommendations made in structural audits of several group housing colonies have not been adequately executed.
A notice dated March 12 was sent to various real estate developers in the city, including DLF Universal Ltd, M3M, Raheja Developers Ltd, Signature Global Pvt Ltd, Paras Buildtech India Pvt Ltd, Central Park, Spaze Towers Pvt Ltd, Tulip Infratech Pvt Ltd, and Mahindra Lifespaces Aura Pvt Ltd.
Representatives from RWAs of societies such as Antariksh Heights in Sector 84, Brisk Lumbini in Sector 109, Raheja Vedanta in Sector 108, Park Place, M3M Woodshire in Sector 107, Signature Global Solera-I in Sector 107, Paras Irene in Sector 70A, Central Park 2 Bellevue in Sector 48, and Mapsko Casabella in Sector 82 will also be present at the meeting.
Structural audits are essential for assessing building conditions and identifying issues such as cracks, water seepage, reinforcement corrosion, settlement, and other signs of structural distress. Based on these findings, engineers will propose specific repair or strengthening measures to ensure safety and longevity.
In recent years, numerous housing societies in the city have voiced concerns about deteriorating infrastructure and alleged delays from developers in addressing repairs. Residents have reported problems such as wall cracks, damaged plaster, and water leaks, which have led RWAs to demand independent structural audits and necessary remediation.
The upcoming meeting aims to unite developers and residents to assess compliance status and identify outstanding work. Timelines for implementing the recommended repairs may also be discussed.
The district administration intends to gather detailed updates from both developers and RWAs to evaluate whether further regulatory action is necessary to enforce adherence to structural safety standards in group housing colonies throughout the city.
