Hi Members
Wish all a Happy and Prosperous Diwali to you, family and friends..
Continuing the support for the 13th Nov "showdown", and in the light of the NOV1 date with fate for the Public Interest Litigation against "Unscrupulous increase in EDC", I have drafted a small piece on the eve of diwali.. I would request any suggestions as I wish this to be posted to all the editors of newspapers across India. Any and every input shall be appreciated.......
"Its going to be another challenging day for investors in Faridabad on the 1st of November, the date for the next hearing in PLI filed with P&H High Court about the Unscrupulous rise in the EDC charged by Huda..
Those in know, would be aware that many individual investors as well as a local, home grown association rising to the cause of the deprived, "The GFWA (myfaridabad.in)" had taken a brave step of going the legal route after investors have succumbed Unjustified and unwarranted increase in EDC by HUDA without any development for last 6 years!!!.
For those parting with their lifes savings to pay the builders, for 6 long years now is an uphill task. The aspiration of owning a dream house is still a long way to go, some say another 3 years for development of basic amenities and external infrastructure, contributing to the woes of more than 50000 unit holders across 2500 acres of "govt approved" and "licenced" residential areas as per master plan.
The sufferings have not stopped here and continues to afflict aspirants struggling to deal with homelessness due to missed deadlines by Developers and Huda for internal and external infrastructure development resulting in "delayed" or more aptly defined as "denied" possession to homes which are rightfully theirs.
This deplorable situation has been further exalted by weight of Interest rates, increased by Govt 11th times since 2010. Adding insult to injury is this severe jolt of increased demand for EDC/IDC by Huda for this area.. The EDC/IDC cost towards development of sewerage, master roads, electricity etc now constitute a phenomenal 15% appx of the total cost of a typical unit, "possibly the highest in the country". Reason as many understand for this indiscriminate rise is "inaction by Huda" which has increased the cost of acquisition, material, manpower manifold to 419 Cr appx from a mere rough estimate of 130 Cr appx 5 years ago. Should Huda and administration be charged for dereliction of duty resulting in causing financial, mental and psychological sufferings to those affected??
The plight of families is miserable, as they are trapped between the monthly payment of Ever Increasing Rent and EMIs to banks causing them lack of dignity, insecurity, homelessness and possibly default.
High time State Govt and administration wakes to save the aggrieved and protect the “Right to Life" under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution and relevant UN laid International Covenant on Economic Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) to which our country is a signatory. Some are apprehensive that increasing burden of such accesses may lead to "destitution", "lawlessness" and more "legal ramblings" if things are not brought under control.. Already there have been massive protest on streets, chowks, parks, public places, Huda office, DC residence and the public displeasure is increasing by the day. All that people have achieved is assurance out of numerous meetings with people from administration and the ruling party but unfortunately, no execution.
Hope good sense will prevail and the High Court hearing would be ruled in the favour of grief stricken end users who are now hell bent not to vote in favour of the ruling congress govt in the next elections. "
Cheers
