Noida : A symbolic Buddhi-Shuddhi Havan (purification ritual) planned by the residents of Antariksh Golf View-II, Sector 78, Noida, to protest against the builder’s alleged arbitrariness, apathy and corruption had to be abruptly postponed. All arrangements for the havan had been completed, and a large number of flat owners, both men and women, had gathered for the ceremony. However, just before its commencement, residents received the news that a resident from K Tower had passed away.
Upon hearing this, the priest present at the venue advised that the havan be postponed as per religious norms. The residents unanimously agreed and held a two-minute silence for the departed soul. The new date for the havan will be announced soon.
Protest continues from 1 November
Since 1 November 2025, residents have been staging a continuous sit-in protest in front of the builder’s office. They allege that Colorful Estate Pvt. Ltd., which started constructing the project in 2010, has failed to provide even the basic promised facilities, despite over 900 families living in the society since 2016.
Major complaints of the residents
Residents highlighted several serious issues, including:
Non-restoration of OC (Occupancy Certificate) and CC (Completion Certificate)
Improper parking allocation
Lack of a 6-meter inner road for fire brigade access
Plaster falling off walls and exposed iron rods dropping from ceilings
Poor maintenance system, with no effective improvements
Water supply dependent on tankers, with an alleged nexus between the builder and the tanker mafia
Non-functional fire-fighting system, requiring urgent repair
Third-party audit of the maintenance account
Structural audit of the buildings
Pending ₹80 crore dues with the Noida Authority, causing further delays
The builder-Noida Authority nexus and persistent negligence, their life savings have been jeopardized. Many are still struggling to get their registries completed, despite full payment.
Residents
Anger against MLA
Residents also expressed disappointment with their MLA, Pankaj Singh, stating that he has neither visited the society nor extended any support during this crisis.
The residents have unanimously decided:
If their issues are not resolved soon, they will boycott the upcoming elections and will not allow Pankaj Singh to enter the society. The sit-in protest will continue until all major concerns are addressed.
