Supertech Ecovillage 2 residents demand that builder urgently completes pending Work

NOIDA: Around 200 residents of Supertech Ecovillage 2 on Sunday evening marched in
the Noida Extension society to demand that the builder urgently completes pending work and
ensures that another incident like the one last week, when two children fell nine floors from a
utility shaft, is not repeated.
Two boys, cousins aged 12 and 9, fell into a utility shaft covered with just a PVC sheet while
playing outside their flat on the ninth floor last Tuesday. Their family said they survived because
WiFi cables in the shaft broke their fall.
Both of them, 12-year-old Siddharth Kumar and his younger cousin Abheek Shekhar, are getting
treated at the Kailash Hospital in Sector 71, Noida. Both of them are stable, but Siddharth
sustained more serious injuries.

On Sunday, the residents began marching around 7.30pm. “Till now, even the boundary wall of
the society has not been completed. This is a basic thing that should have been completed
when the project began. But the builder didn’t even do that. The children were saved due to
God’s grace. How do we know this won’t happen with our children?,” said DK Sinha, who lives
in the society.
Siddharth’s father told TOI the family didn’t take part in Sunday’s protest. “Siddharth has a spine
surgery on Monday morning. We are currently focused on his wellbeing.,” said Amit Kumar (45).
The incident also brought the society under the scanner of GNIDA, which had issued a notice
to Supertech. GNIDA general manager (project) AK Arora said Supertech was yet to respond.
“A decision on further action will be taken on Monday,” he said. A Supertech spokesperson
didn’t respond to requests for a comment.
