Mr Bajaj: He said that the Vice President Jyoti Kachroo should conduct the meeting in absence of the President DD Mishra. If he is unable to do that then he should resign from this important position.
Anupama (SDF 22C): Praised the new look Jasmine Room and said that it was an ideal place for a very small gathering.

Subject: Resignation From CMC As the Current CMC Is Neither as Per Club Constitution nor the New Lease Deed
Mr President,
We refer to the email of 22nd January convening CMC Meeting on Sunday, 28th January 2024. As in the past several months, notice of holding CMC Meeting are continued to be issued without any details of the agenda for the same. Our repeated email reminders to you for last 02 months informing you that we 04 elected
Resident CMC Members (elected with over 70% of the votes polled) are abstaining from Club meetings as the current CMC ceases to exist as per new lease deed signed by you & RWA Secretary dated 21st November 2023 questioning the validity of business conducted by Non-Resident Members controlled CMC have gone unanswered.
Since our verbal and written protests and emails on record highlighting the unprofessional functioning of Club are being ignored in totality, we are left with no option but to tender our resignation with immediate effect from the 15 Member CMC which has been recently reconstituted by RWA Secretary under your instructions in total violation of the Club constitution & contrary to the terms & condition laid out in the new lease deed executed by RWA with NOIDA Authority.
Under these circumstances we have decided not continue to be a part of this legally invalid CMC and be held accountable by the Club Members.
We have already informed you and the CMC Members including the NOIDA Legal Advisor who is now a part of the CMC under the new lease deed and the club office through several emails of the instances where CMC has conducted business against the laid out Consti tuti onal guidelines and Club bye laws and decisions of the General body documented over the years and questioned the legal validity of continuation of current CMC of 15 Member’s under the new lease deed.
Some of the key relevant and important exchanges of emails / communications / documents mentioned above are appended below for information and record.
With best wishes,
Sanjeev Sareen (Elected Club Managing Committee 2023-24 Resident Member)
