Placing its demand before the high-power committee of ministers formed by UP CM Yogi Adityanath, Noida Extension Flat Owners Welfare Association (NEFOWA) today said that a government agency, such as Noida Authority, should be given the responsibility of completing all stalled housing projects of Noida and Greater Noida.
According to NEFOWA, which represents homebuyers from several incomplete housing projects, many buyers had had booked their flats way back in 2010, and they are now desperate for possession.
Many of these builders have claimed that they do not have funds to complete the projects, but what are the buyers to do, asked angry NEFOWA members.
Abhishek Kumar, NEFOWA president, said, “We have placed our demands before the high-powered committee. We told them since the builders have expressed their incapability in completing the housing projects, the responsibility of completing the work should be given to some government agency, such as Noida Authority or the Jal Board. This is one of the best options available to the government for solving our issues.”
Shweta Bharti, NEFOWA general secretary, added, “Buyers don’t have faith in any builder — most of them have collected money from individual buyers and have not given them possession. Under such circumstances, the government should take over all housing projects from private builders and hand them over to a government agency. This will solve the problem of thousands of buyers, who have been relentlessly carrying out protests across the city for their own homes!”
