At a time when property prices are going through the roof, unabated construction activity is playing havoc on the residents of the colony.
The builders play a critical role in making these houses more affordable, reducing the headache of the owners to construct the house on their own and provide a standardized quality to the constructed apartments. Yet, they are the favorite punching bag of every resident of the colony.
The reasons are quite straightforward. The builders time and again flout construction norms. They do not cover the construction site properly, which leads to huge amounts of dust pollution. They put their construction material on the road as well as backlanes, inconveniencing neighbors all around. They use heavy machinery like poclain to break down the house, which not only damages the roads but also causes structural damage to adjacent houses. They work after permitted hours, disturbing the sleep of residents. They leave the back lanes dirty and damaged, which then becomes a haven for all kinds of diseases.
There is a humble request to residents who outsource their construction to builders, please think about the neighbors as well as the colony. Today it may be others, but tomorrow you may be equally affected. Please ensure that the builders follow the construction norms.
