"A few months ago, these sets were to be removed from the society by the private agency, which rented them out, because it was not getting the service charge from the builder. However, residents of the high-rise then came out and agreed to pay the agency," Ravi added.
"We also raised the issue with the department concerned urging them to instruct the developer for making exhaust pipes for the DG sets but the developer refused to do so." he further said.
City Spidey tried to contact Anil Singh, regional officer with the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board (UPPCB) but his phone was out of coverage area.
