Hi All,
As some of us have started receiving the demand letter for the increased EDC charges with deadline of two weeks, it is must for us to register our concerns at all possible administrative levels.
Last week, I went on to check the the progress of my project Ozone park. It was surprising to see that they have taken us for granted. The new site SAI PARK, started way after Ozone Park is almost at par with Ozone Park towers 9 & 10. They have deployed 4-5 workers in each tower to show that so called work is going on and hammering noise if hitting our ears. Probably their connections in the political or administrative community are so strong that they are least bothered bout the commitments.
I discussed the delayed possession of my project (Ozone Park) with the builder and asked him about his side of story. He said that "due to common wealth games" there was shortage of workers and hence construction is delayed. I think only Ozone Park workers were so talented that it is imperative to have only them at commonwealth and rest all projects were not impacted. If at all we are expecting these builders to be honest then it is needed to accept now that this expectation is wrong and will probably cost us loads of time.
I can vouch for the fact that we will hear similar stories while asking for the late penalty. No one will be there to listen our voices and take genuine actions. The builders response on ground to our recent demonstrations has reveled how lightly they take our administrative system, for reasons known to all.
Coming back to point of new demand letter of 100 psf, it is vital that members from all projects consolidate the strength and put a brave face against this new issue. if we raise voice in smaller groups then we are not really leveraging such a good platform provided by GFWA.
I am not in India and bought this property for parents and probably it was a wrong decision to invest in India. All logic fail to make me understand the demand of increased EDC where in no development has been done, major part of EDC has already been paid to builder. It is really difficult to fight for each and every thing in this country. If supreme court is alone hope for all common man issues then why to have this paralyzed government and administrative setup.
I appreciate the initiatives taken by the group and strongly urge to take the bold decisions. Otherwise, the weak and needy among us will end up paying for the unjustified demands.
Rgds,
