NOIDA: Residents of Mahagun Mywoods protested late Sunday, demanding prompt action from the builder regarding various unresolved issues, including sewage treatment failures, electricity dues, inadequate security, and malfunctioning lifts.
This protest is part of a series of weekend demonstrations addressing these ongoing concerns, as previously reported by TOI.
Residents highlighted multiple infrastructure problems, such as a non-operational sewage treatment plant (STP1), halted construction on STP2, faulty lifts, loose electrical fittings, and neglected common areas. They are also pushing for the completion of flat registries, resolution of unpaid water bills, a thorough safety audit, and accountability for alleged financial mismanagement.
Security issues have become particularly contentious. Tower receptions and basement areas lack adequate guarding, as the builder has not settled payments to security firms. “We are facing a severe shortage of security personnel due to unpaid dues by builder maintenance, which poses significant safety risks,” stated Ashutosh Singh Sikarwar, a resident.
Frequent power outages have further frustrated residents. Although they have settled their bills, many are facing disconnections due to the builder’s failure to pay dues to NPCL — an issue previously reported by TOI on March 17. “We pay our dues, but the builder’s defaults lead to disconnections,” said Manish Kumar, a resident.
TOI reached out to the builder for a response but received no reply.
“The ongoing neglect of essential facilities, despite our timely payments, is intolerable. We are committed to advocating for our rights,” said resident Mahesh Tanwar. Anil Verma, a representative for the protesting residents, announced that protests would persist until their demands are addressed.
Protests are scheduled for weekends as residents seek dialogue with the builder. Builder maintenance and senior management have not commented on the situation.
