Gurugram: Residents demand structural & financial audits of New Town Heights

GURUGRAM: Residents of New Town Heights in Sector 91 have approached the department of
town and country planning (DTCP) demanding structural and forensic audits of the project.
In a letter to DTCP director general TL Satyaprakash, deputy commissioner Nishant Yadav and
district town planner Amit Madholia, residents have alleged that poor design and construction
flaws pose a safety risk to 600 families living in the society. They also demanded that the
developer be directed to fulfil the completion certificate conditions. Satyaprakash received the
letter on Tuesday.
“Due to poor construction, seepage, cracks and falling of plaster is quite common across all
towers. The condition of lifts is also bad,” the letter reads.

Residents have demanded a structural audit from a competent authority like IIT-Roorkee or
Delhi, testing of construction materials and a forensic financial audit of the society’s funds.
“We are paying hefty maintenance charges every month but aren’t getting adequate facilities.
We have demanded a financial audit of the books for transparency,” said PK Kaul, a resident of
Tower D of the society.
When contacted, a spokesperson of the developer said their teams are constantly in touch and
working with the RWA and residents. “The RWA and residents are well aware of any/all progress
of work,” he said.
