Supertech Capetown, in Sector 74, Noida, is set to soon get its first AOA. The society was operating without one for the past three years. However, in a recent meeting held with the builder, March 25 has been fixed as the date for selecting the election committee. The committee, which will have four members and a chairman, will be responsible for holding fair elections at the society.
The last date to fill the nominations for the election committee has been fixed at March 5.
As per the amendments in the UP Apartment Act, 2010, a builder has to call the first general body meeting of residents to elect an AOA in a project that has at least 60 per cent of its flats registered. After the election, the builder has to transfer the maintenance of common areas to the AOA, so residents can handle society civic work on their own.
Arun Singh Chauhan, a member of the builder’s facility management team, told City Spidey the election committee members will not eligible to contest in AOA election.
"The committee members will not align with or provide support to any of the candidates,” he added. “It will also not influence the election process in any way. If any member of the committee is found to be doing of this, the committee will be dissolved and a new committee will be formed."
The nomination forms will be available with the maintenance manager. Residents have to attach self-attested photocopies of their possession letter and ID proof at the time of filing nomination.
Bhupendra Routela, a resident, said residents were happy that the builder was fulfilling a long-pending demand.
