On Saturday, around 1,400 residents of the ROF Aalayas condominium in Sector 102, Gurugram, India, protested outside the builder's office in Sector 44. They expressed frustration over the delayed handover of their society, which was completed in October 2019, and the sudden increase in maintenance charges from ₹2,800 to ₹3,500 without prior notice. Residents have been waiting for 10 months for the handover to their residents' welfare association (RWA). Ranjan Panda, the RWA general secretary, highlighted that the builder has not released the interest-free maintenance security (IFMS) fund, essential for the society's operations. Furthermore, critical facilities like the sewage treatment plant (STP) have been non-functional for over a year, leading to illegal sewage disposal and raising serious health concerns. Deepak Mongia, president of the RWA, noted that basic maintenance services are severely lacking, with no plumbers available and regular cleaning not being conducted. In response, Alok Srivastava, senior general manager at ROF Group, mentioned that a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed with the RWA to address these concerns, but some members are allegedly pursuing individual interests.
