In Greater Noida, a group of disgruntled homebuyers gather every Sunday to voice their grievances against what they describe as the builder mafia. These individuals, who have invested their savings into purchasing flats, have faced continuous disappointment due to unfulfilled promises by their builders. Among the protesters are many residents of Ajnara Homes, who report that the builder is yet to honour the commitments, leaving their living situation precarious.

Chandan Sinha, President of the Apartment Owners' Association at Ajnara Homes, shared his frustrations about the lack of amenities promised years ago. "The facilities we were shown in the brochure and promised by the builder—including a fully operational club and a children's play area—remain uncompleted," Sinha said. "If even 40% of the money we've paid were actually spent on the society, it would not only enhance our living environment but also improve its reputation significantly. However, the parent company of the builder seems to be diverting all the funds collected from the apartment residents."

Shashi Ranjan Kumar, another buyer at Ajnara Homes, expressed his ongoing struggles with the registration of his flat. "I paid the full amount necessary for registration when I purchased the flat. The builder assured me that the registration would be completed by the following month," Kumar recounted. "Four years have passed, and the registration has still not been processed. The builder continues to postpone it each month without providing a clear explanation. The authorities have informed us that they have transferred between 23 to 25 crore rupees to the builder, which has not been returned. Until the builder returns this amount, the registration process cannot proceed. Currently, everything is at a standstill."
