Dear Sir
The possesion of appartments in SG ompressions society has been given to around 60 residents but now buider is not paying much attention to complete the left over work in the society. There have been many meetings in this regard & Gaurav Gupta(MD of SG Estates) was also called but now we are not getting positive response from the management.
The security in the society is not up to the mark & infact few basic things like the main gate of the society is still not complete. Though residents like us have put in hard earned money in these flats but now things are not improving.
It seems that builder is now interested in his new projects only & the one which has been sold out is not of his intrest.
We are writing this so that anyone who invests their had earned money in some other project of SG Estates gets an input on their goodwill because I am one of the residents.
