Sector 107 buyers hold silent protest

Noida: Nearly 100 homebuyers of Amrapali Heartbeat City, Sector 107, chose to mark Gandhi Jayanti by paying their respects at Rajghat and then organising a silent protest over the delayed project. The Heartbeat City project has 1,800 apartments.
The buyers and their families gathered at the site to mark the day and then visited Rajghat.
“We chose this day to get ourselves heard. We have no other tool. After struggling in the courts for so many years, we are now left in the lurch.The builders have not taken any measure to resume construction at Amrapali Heatbeat City. We have met them, we have met Noida authority officers, but nothing has been done so far. We took Gandhian measures of peaceful protests to be heard today,” Puneet Parashar, a member of Sector 107 Homebuyers Association, said.
Nearly 5,000 apartments spread over three builder projects at Sector 107 were stuck in litigation till recently as the land acquisition bid in the sector was revoked by the Supreme Court and sent for a review by the Allahabad high court. The case was put to rest after the original owners of the land who had challenged the acquisition withdrew their writs from the courts. Soon after, Lotus 300 and Great Value Sharnam resumed work. However, construction work is yet to begin at Heartbeat City.
“We approached Amrapali too, but were told that they are in this project only as a brand, the ownership is not with them. We do not even know who owns this project. We want full disclosure of the Heartbeat City project from the builders and Noida Authority,” Parashar said.
