Owning a property in Gurgaon is a lifetime decision. The alottees had poured in their hard earned savings – some to make Gurgaon their home while others made an investment to cater for their future commitments of children education and their marriages etc. After seven years of its promise, all we know is that the several hundred plots have been cancelled and no one seems to have any idea as to when will a solution emerge.
The other day, I had met the Estate Officer – the only thing he had to tell me was that “When I myself don’t know anything, how can I give you any information. All I know is that Sector – 57 is in a BIG BIG MESS!!! And it may take years before it is sorted out”. There are two reasons floating around – some say that the villagers have represented in court regarding compensation, yet another one is that the earlier maps prepared by HUDA were made on wrong land measurements, so when it came down to actual demarcations the land fell grossly short. Whatever be the reason, it is very much the responsibility of HUDA to keep the alottees informed and find a timely solution.
But many questions remain unanswered! Why has this happened? Who is responsible for it? Should we just sit back and wait till someone in HUDA decides to do his job? Who is responsible for lost investments because someone did not do his job properly? Should they not have been responsible enough to keep the alottees informed? Why is it that the Estate Officer his himself unaware? Where will the alottees given an alternate plot, if at all! In these times when there is so much talk about transparency, why is HUDA quiet? Why is information being hidden?
It has been a pretty long wait and nothing appears to be moving. We all need to interact so that we are aware and we follow a well defined line of action! If required a case in court.
Till then, keep sharing News and Views - and of course wish each other Good Luck!
