GREATER NOIDA:

Despite paying hefty amounts for power connections during the handover, residents allege that the builder failed to provide them legal power connections, leading to unsafe and unreliable power arrangements since the past one year.

The firm, however, clarified that they have already obtained the no objection certificate from authorities and are setting up power infrastructure.

"We moved into our flats in October 2023 after completing all legal formalities, including registration. The builder charged ₹35,000 per flat for a legitimate power connection and promised meter installations. But the builder has been hooking up power cables and supplying electricity illegally instead of arranging proper connections for us," said Amartya Sinha, who owns a 3BHK in the housing society.

Residents claimed to have approached the Greater Noida authority and local MP Dr Mahesh Sharma for help but to no avail.
