Scary Story 1 : Magarpatta City

Let's start with my favourite story. Magarpatta city. After all, they were featured on Discovery channel, right?

Imagine: your master bedroom dipped in 3 inches of human extract, your valuable laptops swimming in it, your expensive business suites plus saries soaked in it, your dear paintings plus gifts drowned in it. The extract is flowing up to the passage and stinking as it stinks. [Replace `it' by "SHIT" (read again) for a better picture of your imagination]

Simple case: Out of home for a week. Worst thing you can think of after returning: House full of shit (not literally - actually) Findings: WC pipe clogged up in down stream and ignored by maintenance staff. End situation: human extract `flooding' your house in
first floor.

Sounds like a bad dream? This can come true, if you purchase a house in magarpatta city. Yes, I have purchased a house in magarpatta city and experienced the worst of my imagination. My parents shocked at the sight of house full of shit. My 5-year-old nephew coming from US - half fainted. My wife horrified and unable to digest what she is seeing is true.

And the `best' worst part - Magarpatta PMS staff is unmoved by the happenings and provide no cooperation to clean up the shit or remove the WC clogging.Infact when we finally managed to get a maid to clean the mess, these people warned her of horrible situation and as a result she refused.

Please take a note of "quotable" quotes from Senior Magarpatta authority
- "First floor main aisa hota hee rahta hain"
- Beware if you are taking house on first floor, could turn out to be worst mistake

- "If you would have been at home, this wouldnt have happened"
- Guys, be always at home and keep watching the level in WC pipe.

This was not the end of the trauma we had gone through. After umpteen requests and threatening, it took more than 10 days for someone to come to our house, admit mistake and say a simple sorry for it. We had expected a better and timely response to it and would have prefered settling it there. We are completely broken by the lack of response from them after loosing emotionally and financially. However with the kind of indifference and apathy, magarpatta authorities have shown, We are contemplating action in consumer court.

Its your personal decision to buy a house, however this is my sincere attempt to prove to these builders, they cant take ordinary residents for granted, for in this world of IT, it wouldnt take minutes for the news to reach their prospective customers. When we pay hefty amount for maintainance, its not just the gardens but basic amenities we deserve like preventing such incident in future. They cant just make promises and not fulfill them. Check out the site for the beautiful dream that it shows and leave them once they have bought the house (www.magarpattacity.com)

Let me assure you this is not just "one of the cases", people from neighbours had sent similar complaints though not as ghasty as this. Anyone who is planning to buy a house, ensure to check out with the residents for a better opinion and if anyone has suggestion for us to deal with these "powerful builders", we would be grateful to hear that.
