DG charge dispute sparks tension between Capital Athena residents and builder.

Noida: Tensions escalated at Capital Athena Society after residents raised objections to a one-time deduction of ₹1,500 from each household in the name of DG (Diesel Generator) charges. A meeting was held between residents and the builder to discuss the issue, but residents claimed they were left dissatisfied due to the builder’s response.

According to residents, the builder recently imposed a one-time DG charge of ₹1,500 on every household. Several residents questioned the basis of the charge and sought a detailed explanation regarding its calculation, utilization and approval process.

During the meeting, residents alleged that the builder failed to provide satisfactory answers to their concerns. They claimed that repeated requests for clarity on the levy were met with inadequate responses, leading to frustration among those present.

The situation became more contentious when residents alleged that the builder’s son threatened members of the resident community during the discussion. The allegation has sparked concern among society residents, who said that such behavior is unacceptable and only adds to the growing tension over the disputed charge.

Residents have demanded complete transparency regarding the collection of the DG charge and have called for a detailed account of how the funds are being utilized. They also urged the builder to address residents’ grievances through constructive dialogue rather than confrontation.

The issue has triggered widespread discussion within the society, with many residents seeking accountability and a fair resolution to the matter. They have indicated that they will continue to pursue the issue until satisfactory answers are provided and their concerns are addressed.

Residents seek transparency and resolution

Any additional charge imposed on homeowners should be supported by proper documentation and communicated transparently. Cooperative engagement between the builder and residents is essential for maintaining harmony within the society.

We are not against paying legitimate charges, but the builder should explain why ₹1,500 has been deducted from every household and provide complete transparency regarding the expenditure.
