City & Industrial Development Corporation [CIDCO] — Cidco PMC and MJP harass residents of Khanda Colony

Water is not supplied regularly in Haware Vrindavan Tower ABD CHS Ltd in Sector 9 Khanda Colony, New Panvel West Navi Mumbai Plot 52 for the last 34 months. Since Dec 2020 every week on Monday and Tuesday there is no water supply citing no reasons. Overall there was no water supply for 9 days in Dec 20, 8 days each in Jan 21 and Feb 21, 10 days in Mar, 11 days in Apr, 15 days each in May and Jun, 5 days in Jul, 6 days in Aug, 2 days in Sep, 3 days in Oct, 1 day in Nov, 2 days in Dec 21, 1 day in Jan 22, 1 day in Feb, 3 days in Mar, 2 days each in May and Jun, 3 days each in Jul, Aug, Oct and Nov 22, 5 days in January 23, 1 day in April 23, 3 days in May 23, 6 days in Aug 23, 1 day in Sep 23 and 9 days in Oct 23 amounting to 141 days of no water despite there being sufficient water available in the other societies in the vicinity during the same period. This is deliberately done by MJP, CIDCO, PMC and the Society to harass the residents time and again and to torture them. Residents pay high Society maintenance charges regularly well before the due date as they can't afford to pay 21% interest. For deficiency of service the Society must refund 30% of the maintenance back to the residents with 21% interest. Cidco service charges are still levied by the society as Service Charges despite the residents already having paid property tax from Oct 16 to Mar 24 including water charges for these 7.5 years. PMC should refund the amount to residents for water supply not provided proportionately during these 7.5 years. The Society does not arrange for any water tankers to resolve the issue during those days. In Mumbai City, there are no such water cuts imposed by BMC. Cidco stops water supply citing maintenance. All these 34 months, the residents want to know what maintenance has been done by stopping water supply. Is it a case of supplying water to Mumbai City or somewhere else at the cost of the residents living in the suburbs or MMR (Mumbai Metropolitan Region)? Residents living in MMR also pay the same rate of tax as levied in Mumbai City. It was the Maharashtra government which encouraged residents to shift to Navi Mumbai (Vashi to Panvel /Airoli) to reduce congestion in the city. Now even after so many years there are no basic amenities for the residents.The residents appeal to the Honourable Prime Minister and Registrar of Cooperative Societies to initiate a CBI enquiry and take stringent action and necessary steps immediately to refrain CIDCO, PMC, MJP from imposing illegal water cuts and direct the Society to refund 30% maintenance with interest to the residents and take steps to redress the impending grievances and resolve them permanently.
