Gurugram Homebuyers Protest Delayed Possession of Hero Home Flats

                Gurgaon: Agitated homebuyers of Hero Homes 
in Sector 104 gathered at the project site on 
Sunday to protest the delayed possession of 
their flats.
Armed with banners and slogans, the buyers 
expressed their frustration over the lack of 
communication from the developer, alleging a 
complete absence of updates on the project's 
completion timeline.
Protesters held banners highlighting their 
grievances, with messages like ‘Rehne Ko Ghar 
Nahi...
Baat Karne Ko Builder Nahi, Unfulfilled 
Promises, Unhappy Homeowner, and Deliver 
Amenities as Committed with Phase 1,' 
reflecting their mounting dissatisfaction.
"Since Feb, there has been no clear update. 
We've tried reaching out multiple times, but all 
we get are vague promises with no specific 
timeline," said Mahesh Kumar, one of the 
protesting buyers.

He added that despite the large gathering 
outside the premises, no official came forward 
to address their concerns, with the staff 
instead shutting the gates and deploying 
security 
personnel.
The project consists of eight towers with 
approximately 1,100 flats. Many buyers have 
already paid up to 90% of the total cost of their 
homes. For those waiting for possession, the 
financial burden has been significant, as they 
are forced to pay both rent and EMIs.

Some buyers have also raised concerns about 
the developer imposing penalties for delayed 
payments while remaining silent on 
compensation for the project's delays.
"We have been waiting for our home for the 
last six years. The Sept deadline has passed, 
and despite the OC application in Feb, we still 
don't have our homes," said Manoj 
Khandelwal, another protester.
Jatti Bhatia, another aggrieved buyer said that 
only minimal construction work had taken 
place in recent months.
In response, a spokesperson for Hero Realty 
said that the company is committed to 
prioritising customer needs and that Phase 1 
of the project, which includes four towers, has 
been 
completed.
"We have submitted the necessary documents 
to obtain the Occupation Certificate, and the 
process of handing over possession will 
commence as soon as the OC is granted," the 
spokesperson said.
