Frustrated with the slow process of allotment of flats by the Registrar of Cooperative Societies, at least 500 more members of housing societies in Dwarka conducted self-draw of lots and allotted flats for themselves on Sunday. This comes after the Registrar of Cooperative Societies declared null and void the self draw of flats by 1,000 members in Dwarka last week. Flat owners said another 1,000 flats are ready for self draw next week.
Members of cooperative societies, struggling past five years there was some hope in October 2008 the Delhi High Court ordered the houses to award members who have paid the full price of the building. W ebb, when he began the hope of many rounds of the RCS office yielded no results. Members keep visiting the RCS office with their request and the letter from MP, MLA and other responsible representative of upper and lower houses. In the last year 24 companies were not under the scanner of the CBI have been assigned, but (the rest of society 24) still run from one place to another to obtain the award of the floors. Some members of these troubled companies have taken the matter up with the political and A. B. Bardhan, who reportedly spoke with the President of UPA in February 2008. The dialogue, debate, guarantee and promise of the person from the chair and Delhi Chief Minister could not give any concrete results so far. The pressure of not getting their legitimate story despite the order by the Delhi High Court is making life impossible.
The three societies for which the draw was held on Sunday were Sant Sundar Das, Naval Technical Officers and Bharat Jagriti group housing societies. ‘‘We will go ahead with self-allotment. People, who have already made the payment for their flats and are waiting for allotment for long don’t want to take to the street or damage public property in protest against the delay. The government agencies must understand that we have taken this step after exhausting all our resources,’’ said Ashok Kumar, a retired senior executive of a Navaranta PSU who is heading the process of selfallotment of flats. Kumar said they waited for long but the system failed to deliver. ‘‘We got frustrated. We knew that we own flats in a particular society, but did not knew which one belonged to whom. After the self draw we have got our flats,’’ he said. .
On the other hand, Mr DPS Rajesh, coordinator of the Association of CGHS Affected members had a different view on this issue. According to DPS Rajesh, the issue is very hot and taste to the extent that even law-abiding citizens are willing to violate the law and maintain the free draw to enter their homes. The wait continues for the last five years has eroded the very level of their patience. Number of members of various societies that remained associated with the movement of the early housing allocation under the banner of AOCAM until February 2009, but is alienated because of my perceptions. The fact is that the movement of AOCAM had paid dividends in the form of adjustment of the accession of more than 15,000 people enrolled in different societies after 8/1/2003, in violation of the provisions of Article 24 (2) Standards DCS, 1973. in which case the Delhi High Court has declared null members. After adjustment for members of different societies into account the ruling of the High Court of Delhi dated 2.7.2007 Rajib Mukhopadhyay in case the award process began not with respect to 48 companies under the scanner of the CBI. This was a difficult task in question the existence of members based in different societies, but was resolved on the basis of constant effort, not only in the judicial corridors, but also protests in the street in terms of running light Candel, relay hunger strike for months, organized by AOCAM.
Others involved in this process claimed that they were going for self allotment where there was 100% consensus among the members. ‘‘People are moving to these flats. Immediately after the registrar came out with the notification against the self-allotment, we have sent our reply. It was also informed that more societies will go for self-allotment. They have pushed people to take this step. We have paid the entire amount for our flats more than four years ago. Completion certificates have also been issued to all these societies. Members have been suffering financially as we are paying out monthly installments to bank,’’ said Asvini Parasher. Those going for the self allotment in past one week include old pensioners, exservicemen and many working people.
