City & Industrial Development Corporation [CIDCO] — No water supply in Khanda Colony for 150 days

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 40 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, 7 days in Oct 23, 2 days in Nov 23, 3 days in Feb 24, 6 days in Mar 24 amounting to 150 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. However this is not done nor is there a reduction in the society maintenance. Apart from this the society residents pay "Cidco Service Charges" amounting to Rs 13000/- Per month to the society. 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.The Society does not arrange for any water tankers to resolve the issue during those days. For these 150 days without water the Society should refund Rs 50 per day i. e Rs 7500 to each member as water tankers were not arranged. The noticeboard at Haware Vrindavan Tower ABD displays the words "CIDCO kadhoon paani cha prabhav ati mandh aahe" or "Cidco kadhoon paani bandh aahe". However there is no water supply even after the shutdown timings specified with much fanfare by CIDCO. The residents use water judiciously and there are 126 flats in this society. The residents have invested their life savings in this home and cannot afford to purchase another property. Their lives have become miserable after the water cuts. It is also alleged that the Waterman Mr Swar [protected]/[protected] does not pump water properly acting on the instructions of the Managing Committee. The Society MC misuses it's powers and instructs the Waterman to stop water supply. The residents are human beings and not cattle. The Society MC has converted this Society into a SLUM by misusing the powers. The residents are in deep depression because of the illegal and fraudulent water cuts imposed by CIDCO, PMC, MJP and therefore MJP, CIDCO, PMC and the Society are wholly and solely responsible for their condition today. The residents are scared to complain fearing harassment from the Society MC. 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. The cidco service charges charged by the society should also be refunded back to the residents immediately to resolve the issue and the society should refrain from levying cidco service charges in the monthly bills. The Society MC is harassing the residents time and again and driving them to commit suicide. In Mumbai City, there are no such water cuts imposed by BMC. Cidco stops water supply citing maintenance. All these 40 months, the residents want to know what maintenance has been done by stopping water supply. 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.
