NOIDA: Residents of Galaxy Royale at Gaur City 2 in Greater Noida (west) complained of lack of water supply in the complex for the past three days.

Although a damaged water pipeline is cited as the reason for the water shortage, private tankers were sourced to supply water for over 72 hours, including on Monday. On Sunday, agitated residents took to blocking the road outside the society, creating a traffic snarl.

Blaming the builder for the lack of amenities, the residents also complained of frequent power cuts adding to the problems. The society comprises 517 units with over 1,500 residents currently living in the complex.

Since the project is under builder control due to a lack of an occupation certificate (OC) and pending completion certificate (CC), the society does not have an Apartment Owners Association (AOA).

We have been facing overall electricity and water shortage in society for the last three months. But since the past 2-3 days, there has been a major water supply issue in the society.

We had to get water from tankers. Apart from that there is routine electric fluctuating which results in pumps not working well to draw water or the smooth functioning of the lifts.

Many people have got stuck in lifts due to poor maintenance and lack of service since last few months,” said Dileep Mishra, a resident of Galaxy Royale.

Pradeep Agrawalla, the owner of Galaxy Group, said that a water pipeline had burst and got damaged, leading to an initial supply shortage and later no supply as it took time to fix it.
