Maharashtra Government — Society harasses and tortures residents

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 8 months. Since December 2020 every week on Monday and Tuesday there is no water supply citing MJP Feeder repairs.
Overall there was no water supply for 6 days in December, 8 days each in January and February, 10 days in March, 12 days in April, 15 days each in May and June, 5 days in July amounting to 79 days of no water translating into 33% of Water cuts despite there being sufficient water available in the other societies in the vicinity during the same period. This is deliberately done by MJP, CIDCO and the Society to harass the residents time and again and to torture them. This is despite the residents paying high Society maintenance charges regularly well before the due date. For delayed payment the Society charges 21℅ interest and the residents cannot afford to pay 21% interest. However when there is deficiency of service namely irregular water supply for the past 8 months, 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 for supply of water for 24 hours in a day and despite paying the Society maintenance charges regularly on a monthly basis upto Rs 2000/- per month based on sq foot area they are suffering without water. The Society does not arrange for any water tankers to resolve the issue during those days.
The noticeboard at Haware Vrindavan Tower ABD displays the words "Cidco kadhoon paani cha prabhav ati mandh aahe" or "Cidco kadhoon paani bandh aahe". 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 mainly due to the mismanagement of the Society. It is alleged that the Waterman Mr Swar [protected]/[protected] does not pump water properly acting on the instructions of the Managing Committee. The latest example is on 31st July water supply was stopped by the Society on the pretext of Water Tank cleaning and it was communicated that water will be supplied at 9 pm. However these are just a pack of blatant lies by the Society to stop water supply. The tank cleaning never happened as there was no notice of Global Enterprises who is the contractor. Then a message comes from the Secretary that "Due to urgent repairing o[censored]nderground water tank water filling is not done ! So water supply will be regularise tomorrow morning !".
A pack of lies. This has been happening since the last 2 years where on tank cleaning water supply is not restored in the evening. Global Enterprises has been the contractor for more than a decade and water supply was always restored by evening 5 pm on the same day. However this Committee has been
resorting to this malpractice over the last 2 years. The residents are in deep depression because of the illegal and fraudulent water cuts. Therefore MJP, CIDCO and the Society are wholly and solely responsible for their condition today. The residents appeal to the Maharashtra CM and Registrar of Cooperative Societies to take stringent action and necessary steps immediately to direct the Society to refund 30% maintenance with interest to the residents and take steps to redress the impending grievances and resolve them permanently.
