A major controversy has erupted in Dehradun’s real estate landscape, with residents of Rajpur Greens (Raipur Greens Society)—developed by Earthcon Constructions Private Limited—accusing the builder of systemic failures, broken promises, and alleged disregard for regulatory norms. What was once marketed as a premium residential project has now become a symbol of distress and dissatisfaction among homeowners.
Four Years After Possession, Still No RWA Control
Residents claim that possession of flats was granted nearly four years ago, yet the builder has failed to hand over maintenance and management to the Residents Welfare Association (RWA), as mandated under Section 17 of the RERA Act.
Despite repeated demands, residents allege that the company’s leadership—particularly the Managing Director Shadab Khan and Director Mohammed Shoaib—has continued to retain control. Many residents view this as a blatant disregard for RERA regulations and local administrative authority, effectively denying homeowners their legal right to self-governance.
Luxury Promises, Missing Amenities
The project was sold on the promise of a premium lifestyle, complete with a swimming pool, gym, and health club. However, residents state that none of these facilities exist on the ground, even years after possession.
This gap between marketing claims and actual delivery has led to allegations of misleading advertising and breach of trust.
Possession Amid Incomplete Infrastructure
Residents further allege that flats were handed over without completing essential infrastructure and common areas. This, they say, not only violates contractual commitments but also compromises safety and livability standards.
Financial Opacity and High Charges
Another major grievance is the lack of financial transparency:
* High maintenance and electricity charges are being collected
* No audited balance sheets or expense reports are shared
* No clarity on fund utilization
Former IPS officer (Ex-IG) Pushpak Jyoti has also raised concerns, with residents suspecting possible financial irregularities.
Severe Civic Failures: Water & Power Crisis
Basic amenities have become a daily struggle:
* Frequent water shortages, affecting kitchens and bathrooms
* Regular power cuts with inadequate backup arrangements
* No proper maintenance or response system
Residents say there is often no one to contact during emergencies, reflecting a complete breakdown of management.
Health Risks and Human Impact
The crisis has escalated into a serious humanitarian concern. According to residents:
* Several elderly individuals depend on oxygen support
* Power outages have put their lives at direct risk
This transforms the issue from inconvenience to a potentially life-threatening situation.
Complaints Ignored, No Accountability
Repeated complaints by residents have allegedly gone unanswered. The absence of a dedicated maintenance team and grievance redressal system has only deepened frustration and distrust.
RERA Complaint and Legal Implications
Residents have now formally approached RERA, citing:
* Failure to deliver promised amenities
* Delay in RWA handover even after four years
* Lack of transparency and accountability
If the allegations are proven, the builder could face:
* Orders to complete pending infrastructure
* Compensation to residents
* Financial penalties for regulatory violations
A Wake-Up Call for Real Estate Sector
The Rajpur Greens controversy is no longer just a local issue—it highlights deeper concerns about builder accountability, regulatory enforcement, and protection of homebuyers’ rights in India’s real estate market.
Conclusion
Four years after possession, residents of Rajpur Greens are still fighting for basic rights—water, electricity, transparency, and lawful control of their own homes.
The spotlight is now firmly on Earthcon and regulatory authorities to determine whether this case will bring justice—or become yet another example of unchecked real estate practices.
