Dear All,
Valuable information shared by member 'BlessU', please read below.
I would recommend immediate action to be taken by all who have been offered possession.
==================================================================================
Fire Fighting Scheme is governed under the NBC (National Building Code) 1983 Part IV, revised 2005
https://law.resource.org/pub/in/bis/is. ... 5.svg.html titled 4 LIFE SAFETY
and approved by Fire Station Officer Faridabad and Fire Officer (HQ) Chandigarh. The local Fire Station Officer Comes under Commissioner, Municipal Corporation of Faridabad. Copy of application, approval, fees paid and specifications be obtained through RTI
The "Fire Fighting Scheme" has to be provided by the builder as a part of "Building Plan", submitted for procuring its approval from DTCP. Copy of Building plan including the Fire fighting scheme be obtained through RTI
Before any RTI is filed, in my opinion immediately
1- Seek clarification on exhorbitant charges towards Fire fighting and ALL OTHER inappropriate charges, from builder. Asking for "clear" details of costs, specifications, vendor deployed under cc to DTP Faridabad, DGTCP and DC Faridabad
a) Please provide comparative of charges quoted by other builders in the area for Fire Fighting(with similar scope and size in the complaint.) CLEARLY questioning why RPS buyers are asked to pay X amount is higher by Y amount in comparison and justification for the same.
b) Please quote the relevant BBA text on such charges and mention, that this was excepted after trusting and having faith in the capabilities of builder towards procurement, erection and execution of such fire fighting system, to provide the most effective and value for money.2- Separately, forward a formal complaint with signatures from all those who have been offered for possession to DGTCP. Include all other illegal charges and defective execution of approved Zonal/Layout/Building Plan in violation of Agreement/Licensing Conditions and undertakings given.
3- File a Criminal FIR for Illegal construction (such as School in Greens and violation of the act, if applicable). Send a copy of FIR to DGTCP/DC and DTP for investigation and corrective action.RTI can be filed with DTCP and Chief Engineer HUDA asking for scope and specifications applicable for GH towards Fire fighting under the license.. i dont think they will give an opinion on cost. however on obtaining the scope and specs for the license in question, you can get quotes from vendors and file a criminal case of Cheating and extortion
Please take your own considered decisions under a legal counsel.
