Residents of La Residentia Society in Greater Noida West renewed their protests earlier this week, highlighting unresolved maintenance problems, including irregular water supply, frequent power outages, and malfunctioning lifts. Around 2,200 of the society's 3,256 flats are occupied, and families, including children and the elderly, gathered outside the builder's sales office seeking urgent intervention. Demonstrators also stressed poor upkeep of common areas and security lapses. They plan a peaceful sit in and a 10-day agitation camp during the upcoming Navratras to press for immediate attention and a responsive maintenance system.
Residents of La Residentia Society in Greater Noida West intensified their agitation for a second consecutive day earlier this week, citing persistent maintenance failures and alleged builder apathy. Occupants from approximately 2,200 of the society's 3,256 flats expressed frustration over irregular water supply, frequent electricity outages, malfunctioning lifts, and poorly maintained common areas. Families, including children and senior citizens, gathered outside the builder's sales office, seeking an urgent meeting to address their long-standing grievances. Advertisement
Several residents noted that despite weekly protests over the past three weeks, no significant improvements have been made. Sumil Jalota, a resident, highlighted that lifts remain faulty, water quality is poor, and security and cleanliness measures are inadequate, which continues to impact daily life. Members of the society's mandir committee and several women also joined the protest, performing bhajan kirtans to demonstrate solidarity.
Neeta Aggarwal, a member of the bhajan committee, emphasized the need for a responsive maintenance system and adequate manpower for upkeep, security, and lift management. Residents announced plans to escalate the agitation by organizing a larger gathering, displaying posters and caricatures to highlight their concerns. A peaceful sit-in protest is scheduled to begin on Monday, along with a 10-day demonstration camp outside the builder's office during the forthcoming Navratras to draw wider attention.
The builder has proposed a meeting to discuss the issues. Yatin Malik, technical manager of the maintenance agency recently appointed to oversee the society, stated that the firm took charge in early February and is currently completing the handover process from the previous agency. He assured residents that their concerns will be addressed once all documentation and transition formalities are complete.
The current protests are part of a history of discontent within La Residentia Society, where earlier demonstrations have also been held over delays in maintenance and disagreements over fees. Long-standing infrastructure problems, including security lapses and inadequate staff, have repeatedly led residents to organize collective actions to demand accountability and improved services.
