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

Even though they had paid the board the full sum for their apartments, the protesting homebuyers claimed they have not yet turned in their units despite the time having passed. a long time ago. Up to 100 allottees protested in front of the board's office on Monday.

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.
