Subject:-- Facts vs Allegations – Response to the RWA Circular of 3 March 2026

Dear Residents and Friends,

This message is a bit lengthy, but I sincerely request everyone to read it in its entirety.

You must have seen the circular issued by the RWA on March 3, 2026. Through this circular, the RWA has once again attempted to mislead the residents. Unfortunately, this so-called “professional” RWA seems to forget that residents are now well aware of the ground reality.

Below is my point-wise response to the claims made in their circular.
———

Allegation: I have filed numerous cases against the RWA

Response:
This claim is completely false. Since this RWA took charge, they have tried to malign my image from day 1 of their taking over. Untill today they have filed numerous complaints, court cases against me both directly and indirectly.

*Whereas after 6 months of their operations due to multiple wrong doings by this RWA, which includes raising wrong bills like WTP, road repair, compost plant & CCTV (without quotations) , forcefull debits from meters, not commencing heating services for sovereign towers, more than 150 residents were forced to file complaints to protect our interest.* Their agenda seems to be only to mislead residents through false propaganda. Thankfully, most residents are now aware of the truth!

AGM of October 26, 2025

We ( residents ) filed a complaint before the District Registrar due to the adhoc mannerism in which this RWA has been functioning. After reviewing the matter, the Hon’ble District Registrar cancelled the AGM held on 26th Oct, 25 and consequently all decisions taken during that meeting were also declared invalid.

*The issue came to light when this RWA passed a ₹4.38 crore financial decision without quotations and started deducting money through prepaid meters*. Upon investigating , I discovered that under the HRRS Act 2012, a minimum 15% attendance is mandatory for any AGM or GBM to take valid decisions.

Therefore, in *order to protect residents from illegal financial collections*, the complaint was filed and the AGM was cancelled. The claim that this will stop development work in Vatika City is completely false & incorrect.

If the RWA genuinely wants to work for the welfare of Vatika City, they can bring proposals with proper quotations and approvals in a legally valid AGM or GBM, and they will receive full support from residents.

Inquiry and Visit of the Inquiry Officer on February 22

Approximately six months after this RWA came into power, we received information regarding serious irregularities in the functioning of the RWA. Interestingly, this information was shared by one of the members of their own eleven-member team. We were forced to report this irregularity and submitted a complaint to the Hon’ble Deputy Commissioner.

Based on this complaint, the District Registrar ordered an inquiry. However, even after more than eleven months, the current RWA team has not cooperated with the inquiry process and refused to provide document’s, information and invoices as required.

*Despite repeated directions from the Hon’ble District Registrar, the RWA has refused to provide documents to the Inquiry Officer.*

Due to this non-cooperation, the District Registrar even sought police assistance through the Commissioner of Police. As per official orders, a police team along with the Inquiry Officer and officials from the Registrar’s office visited the RWA office with prior intimation. *Even then, the RWA refused to provide the documents.* This is a clear indication of the fact that their is something that this RWA is hiding!

Instead of cooperating, they have now started blaming the police and the Registrar’s office. When authorities visit under official orders, all procedures are followed, and the visit is documented.

*The repeated refusal to provide documents raises a serious question.*What exactly is the RWA trying to hide from both the residents and the authorities?*Is this the transparency that this RWA claims about.*


*Every resident has the right to access these documents. Everything should be transparent, as every single penny spent is residents money and we have all rights to know how that has been spent!*

Change of Inquiry Officer

After the Inquiry Officer was appointed we had to request for a change. The reason is simple: there were concerns regarding his neutrality due to his long association with certain individuals involved in the RWA. Moreover, during the inquiry process, he began examining matters unrelated to the complaint while not even recording my statement.

*When this issue was brought before the Hon’ble District Registrar, the officer could not justify his actions. The Registrar recorded these observations in the order (copy attached), and subsequently even the State Registrar rejected the appeal filed in this matter.*

Allegations Regarding Senior Citizens Association

I have no involvement whatsoever in the elections of the Senior Citizens Association.

However, it is no secret that the senior citizens of Vatika have always shown me affection and support, which perhaps makes some people uncomfortable.

⸻

Complaint on CM Window

Since the time this RWA has been formed they have been continuously filing DR complaints, sending legal notices, police complaints and threatening on baseless accusations. To protect my rights as a resident and securing myself I had no choice but to file a complaint on the Chief Minister’s Window.

Every citizen has the constitutional right to approach the appropriate authorities if they feel threatened or harassed.

Tree Cutting Near Vita Shop

You may recall the large tree outside the illegally constructed shop near the out-gate. A significant portion of that tree was cut because it obstructed the Vita shop.

The Forest Department conducted an investigation and found the allegations to be correct, following which a fine was imposed.

Financial and Administrative Concerns

Some of the major issues during the tenure of this RWA include:

• Sealing several basement shops while allowing a select shop to operate.
• Illegal occupation of the green belt outside the Vatika gate and provision of an unauthorized electricity connection.
• Approximately 20 kW commercial electricity load being supplied to an external shop despite our connection being non-domestic.
• Reports suggesting the Vita shop may not even have a proper electricity meter, raising serious questions about electricity usage.
• Construction of a compost plant in the green belt with huge expenditure despite uncertainty regarding GMDA’s stance.
• *Payment of nearly ₹15 lakh to lawyers within one year, without approval from any GBM.this information was shared by one of the members of their own eleven-member team.*
• Deterioration of security despite promises of improvement.
• Significant increase in electricity, LPG, and other bills for residents.
• Expiry of the CTO (STP) leading to daily penalties which residents may ultimately have to bear.

Previously also, the failure to renew CTO during earlier tenures ( before my tenure) had resulted in penalties exceeding ₹6 crore. Unfortunately, the current team seems to be repeating the same mistakes.

Final Thoughts

Residents deserve transparency, accountability, and lawful governance in the functioning of the RWA.

I urge everyone to think seriously about the future of our society. If we remain silent, there is a real risk that Vatika City may once again return to the difficult situation it faced between 2018 and 2021.

I remain grateful to all residents for their continued support and trust.
