Home buyers hold candlelight march against Amrapali group

Hundreds of home buyers of Amrapali Group on Saturday held a candlelight march in Noida demanding action against the builder who has failed to deliver their homes years after the promised deadline.

Shouting slogans against the realty firm, the protesters held a march from Apeejay School in Sector 16-A to Sector 18 in Noida.

One of the home buyers of Amrapali's Dream Valley project, K.K. Kaushal, said there has been no response from the builder or the government despite their protest entering the eighth day.

"A simultaneous hunger strike is also going on since last Saturday and yet we have not been given any assurance. Till we are assured that our investment is safe, we will continue our protest," he said.

The protesters included buyers of Amrapali projects, including Dream Valley, Verona Heights and Centurian Park.

A large number of home buyers of Jaypee, Amrapali and some other projects have been holding hunger strike protests in Noida outside the corporate offices of the builders.

The buyers have not got possession of their flats, payment for which was made by them in 2010.
