Buyer’s protest against delay in handover of flats

Homebuyers from the Kharavela Enclave, a high-end housing development built by the Odisha State Housing Board (OSHB) in this city's Khandagiri neighborhood, demonstrated on Monday in front of the OSHB headquarters at Unit IV and demanded an early handover of their apartments.

Even after the deadline expired years ago, the protesting homeowners said they have paid the board the full sum for their apartments but have not yet turned over their homes. On Monday, up to 100 allocators protested outside the board's office.

The project was taken on by the board in 2011, and a three-year completion window was set. As a result, bookings for the apartments and construction both started.

However, 12 years have gone by and the project is still unfinished.
