Noida, Nov. 2 -- Residents of Antriksh Golf View 2 in Sector 78, Noida, began a protest against the builder, Colorful Estates Private Limited, on Saturday, alleging poor maintenance and mismanagement of the housing society for the past six years. The society, occupied since 2017, comprises over 1,000 flats and 32 commercial stores, and houses about 900 families. Residents said they plan to continue their sit-in protest until their demands are met. The core dispute includes the cancellation of the Occupancy/Completion Certificate (OC/CC), unethical parking allocation, disputes over a six-metre internal road, damaged external walls with falling plaster, irregular water supply, pending Noida Authority dues, among others, locals said. According to residents, irregular water supply has been a recurring problem. A Noida authority letter dated October 19 stated: "Water is for 650 flats in the society, whereas around 1,050 flats are there. Ashok Verma, senior manager at Noida authority, Noida Jal Board, said, "The remaining should get a water connection. We told the builder to deposit the money and get the connection, but he is the one who is responsible." Ramesh Arora, project head at Colorful Estates Private Limited, replied, "When we sold the flats, we took the money for the water connection, except from a few people so we didn't apply for the water connection. As soon as we get the money from those people, we will get the application done." At the protest site, residents voiced frustration. "We have been living here for the last 8 years, since then they haven't even replastered the buildings," said resident Diksha Sachdev. Arora dismissed the allegations, saying the issues were minor. "We will get our occupancy certificate restored. Small problems exist everywhere, they're best solved by sitting together," he said, adding that the water issues have "largely been resolved."...
