New Delhi, Feb 23 (Reporter) Hundreds of homebuyers of Greenopolis staged a massive protest at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi against Orris Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd., its contractor Three C, and the authorities after years of unfulfilled promises and zero accountability.
The home buyers said they took to the street as despite approaching HARERA, Courts, and even Ministers, they received no relief.
Despite repeated complaints and assurances, neither the builder nor the authorities took any steps to address the issue, they alleged.
The Greenopolis project in Sector 89, Gurugram, launched in 2012 by Orris Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. in collaboration with Three C Shelters Pvt Ltd, has left more than 1,800 homebuyers in limbo for over a decade. Comprised mostly of middle-class families, retired armed forces personnel, and senior citizens, the buyers have been waiting for possession while struggling to manage EMIs, rent, and family expenses.
The Rs 2000-crore project, which promised 1,862 flats across 28 towers and 10 acres reserved for future development, stalled in 2016 after buyers had paid 80-95 percent of their flat costs.
ORRIS has also given affidavits in courts that they will complete the project and give homes to all the homebuyers. As per the agreement between Three C and Orris, Three C will construct the project and will sell 65 percent of the flats, while Orris will sell 35 percent of the units.
However, disputes between Orris and its contractor led to construction delays, leaving homebuyers stuck in protracted legal battles. Things worsened when the Three C went into insolvency and Orris took over the obligation to complete the Project but later went back on its words.
The struggle has already spanned 12 years. More than 50 buyers have passed away during this time, and over 500 senior citizens remain affected.
The Builders, they said, were exploiting the laws enacted to protect the interests of homebuyers in real estate projects.
Homebuyers’ demanded immediate possession of their homes which are ready and a court-backed completion timeline for the rest of the project and strict action against Orris Infrastructure Pvt Limited and 3Cs.
They also demanded compensation for homebuyers’ financial and emotional distress and the huge financial loss suffered for over a decade...////...
