Akhilesh to interact with Noida’s unhappy homebuyers next week

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav will interact with homebuyers next week through videoconferencing to address their grievances, Phatturam Bhojwani, adviser to Noida, Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway authorities said on Wednesday.

Around 3.5 lakh homebuyers in Noida, Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway areas have been suffering for four to five years as the builders have failed to deliver houses on time citing slowdown in the realty market, a newspaper report said.

There are 86 under-construction group housing projects in Noida, 95 in Greater Noida and 13 in Yamuna Expressway area that are running way behind the schedule.

“I met Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav in Lucknow on September 12 and discussed the issues concerning the homebuyers with him for nearly an hour. He asked me to make a list of all the buyers as well as builders whose projects are delayed. I will share the list with the Chief Minister. He will interact with homebuyers through videoconferencing next week,” said Bhojwani according to the newspaper report.

Bhojwani, who is known to be close to Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, was recently appointed as the adviser to Uttar Pradesh Industrial and Development Department and was allotted accommodation and office in the Noida Authority.
