Greater Noida: Connection still temporary, no electricity for a week in JKG Palm Court’s common area
NOIDA: There has been no electricity in the common area of JKG Palm Court society in Greater
Noida West for a week now, complained residents.
Claiming the builder has not taken a permanent electricity connection from the power
department and runs JKG Palm Court on a temporary one, they protested against the builder on
Sunday afternoon.
The builder did not respond to calls from TOI.
Nearly 350 families reside in JKG Palm Court. “The builder is pressuring us to pay maintenance
charges without providing the basics. Since February 5, there has been no electricity in the
common area. The builder has also put up a notice, saying if we don’t pay the maintenance fee,
other facilities like lifts will stop,” said Santosh Jha, a society resident.
Residents said that the project got delayed by 8 years, and the builder still does not have a
permanent electricity connection or a diesel generator set.
“Residents have been living here for the past 3-4 years. Due to no electricity in the common
area, everyone faces difficulty moving around. The builder had taken a one-year advance
payment, including stamp duty charges and NCPL (Noida Power Company Ltd) connection
charges, from us,” said Santosh Jha.
Residents added they also did not feel safe due to a damaged boundary wall and the lack of
CCTV cameras.
Ripunjay Jha, another resident, said, “The builder got a temporary occupational certificate (OC)
from the GNIDA in 2019 for 18 months. Through those months, the builder had to get power
backup, internal wiring, the required NOCs, etc. But the builder failed to get the works done. So,
the GNIDA cancelled its temporary OC.”
Residents alleged the builder does not respond to any of their issues, the clubhouse is not yet
ready, and intercom facilities are also not functional in many flats.
