Despite the intervention of Noida's District Magistrate, Manish Kumar, elections in several high-rise societies remain pending. Residents have reported receiving uncooperative responses from the Deputy Registrar of Firms, Societies, and Chits, Rishabh Agarwal, who, according to them, has repeatedly postponed the election procedures.

Elections have either faced significant delays or have never taken place in at least 30 societies across Gautam Buddha Nagar. Earlier this month, the District Magistrate emphasised the critical need for timely elections and instructed all relevant officials to expedite the process. However, authorities have shown little urgency in following these directives.

Brijesh Sharma, a resident of Antriksh Golf View 2 in Sector 78, Noida, informed The Sunday Guardian that their society has never conducted an AOA (Apartment Owners Association) election due to ongoing disputes between the builder and the authorities. As a result, residents are facing considerable inconvenience due to the absence of an official body to handle day-to-day management issues. He appealed to the District Magistrate to treat the issue with urgency and implement a practical solution.
