Gurgaon One residents protest against Alphacorp developer

Residents of Gurgaon One in Sector 84 protested against the developer, citing issues such as broken lifts, increased maintenance fees, and a rising monkey population within the community. A major complaint is the persistent water seepage in the basement, which has reportedly damaged the building?s beams and pillars. Residents claim that despite numerous complaints, the developer has yet to address the problem. Alok Shukla, a resident, expressed frustration over the hike in common area maintenance (CAM) charges, which rose from Rs 2.5 per sqft to Rs 3.8 per sqft, including GST. Shukla noted that despite the increase, service quality has not improved. He criticised the insufficient housekeeping and security services and the lack of transparency regarding the expenditures and financial records. The Gurgaon One project, launched in 2013 with possession beginning in 2017, houses about 700 families. Harbhajan Singh, another resident, voiced concerns about inadequate services despite high maintenance fees. Singh pointed out that monkey attacks have become frequent, posing a safety risk, particularly for children. Residents also raised concerns about frequent lift malfunctions. Vikash Bajpai described an incident where he was stuck in a lift for five minutes and reported that the service lift in C Tower has been out of order for a month. He expressed worry over the safety of elderly residents and children. In response, an Alphacorp spokesperson stated that the increase in charges was necessary due to rising costs and that residents had previously agreed to the new rates. The spokesperson added that the company is following regulations and has requested a permanent solution for the water seepage issue from the civic body. (ET)
