To make themselves heard, irate buyers of Amrapali Group will conduct a rather unique protest tomorrow. Beating dhols, the protestors will start from Sector 18 Metro station and end at Sector 16 Metro station.
The protest, dubbed ‘Dhol Bajao Sarkar Jagao’, envisages to awaken both the state and central government out of their slumber, claim participants.
KK Kaushal, a buyer of Amrapali Dream Valley, told City Spidey, “Before the elections, the BJP government had promised all GB Nagar buyers that if they come to power, they will help all dissatisfied buyers. However, even after six months of the Yogi government, nothing has changed for the buyers,” Kaushal added.
"Amrapali buyers have even reached the Supreme Court to protest against the builder’s insolvency plea. The builder is trying to declare himself bankrupt. If he is allowed to do so, the earnings of our lifetime shall be lost,” Kaushal said.
“Anyway if the builder-buyer issues are solved by the court, why should we choose this government who made a whole lot of fake promises to the buyers!” he lashed out.
According to buyers, 80 to 90 per cent of the flat money has already been paid to the builder in 2009-10. Therefore without possession, buyers have been suffering since the last seven years.
On August 12, Amrapali buyers began an indefinite strike outside the builder’s office in Sector 62.
Then, on September 14, an eight-member buyers’ delegation met urban development minister Suresh Kumar Khanna in Lucknow. Local MLA Pankaj Singh also travelled with the delegation.
Quite a few BJP leaders also met the protesting buyers, but nothing happened.
