Bharat, a resident said, "We became members of the society in 1990 and
there were 100 members in a two acre area. This society belonged to people from
army and police department.
However, the
members reduced and in 2004 they handed over the charge to a person called RK
Hooda. This is when the problem started, the construction pace was extremely
slow and in 2007 he finally gave us possessions." The residents came to
know about irregularities and then through RTI found out the evidence.
"We came
to know through RTI that he does not possess occupation certificate. Also
instead of making 75 flats, he made 81 flats. We all are having unauthorized
water connections till now and none of us have paid water bills so far,"
said Bharat. Through various RTI applications, we also came to know that he was
involved in embezzlement of funds meant for the welfare of the society.
"For the
past two months, our diesel generators have been sealed by the pollution
control board department because this person did not get the necessary
clearances. Many times we go without electricity," he said.

irregularities are baseless. The complaints are result of the internal politics
of the residents of the society."

followed in out society. The audit has been carried out as per law and there is
