Water Facility at VSPL Divine

Facility committed: Two bore well and cauvery water connection

As on today (May 22, 2015) the cauvery connection is not provided yet.

There are two bore well and a cauvery water connection promised by the builder. But currently there is only bore well water which is being pumped through a motor to the tank. The water is sufficient; however if the commercial area also starts using the water then there will be issues. 

The residents of VSPL Divine requested Mr. Vikram Prabhakar of VSPL to not let out the commercial space to any hotel. However, Mr. Vikram said that it is beyond his control and that the commercial space is already given to someone who has to decide whom to rent it out. If a hotel comes there and starts using up the water, then there will be serious problem. And also there are other safety issues connected to the hotel being there. The residents do not have clarity. In fact, when one of the residents mentioned that there are dangers of fire accident, VSPL just responded by keeping fire extinguishers in each floor. Why not proactively avoid such risks? 

Recently Mr. Boniface from the Facility Management of VSPL conveyed that one of the bore wells will be used by commercial and the residents had objection for the same. If one of the bore well is not working what is the other option? Initially it was told that the commercial space will not use the facility meant for residents and even the car parking. Now how is it that one of the bore well is being handed over to them? 

Cauvery water connection is not arranged yet. In a meeting held on January 8, 2015 it was conveyed that the facility will be arranged in 30-45 days. But even after 150 days there is no progress regarding this.

Lift Facility in the Apartment

Facility committed: One elevator with a capacity of six passengers.

As on today (May 15, 2015) the elevator is not ready yet.

The official hand over of the apartments to the residents happened somewhere in the month of September 2014, however many facilities are still pending and the primary one which is causing the highest level of inconvenience to the residents is the delay in elevator facility.

On Jan 08, 2015 the directors of VSPL met all the residents and promised to address their concerns and apologized for the delay. They promised that the elevator facility will be arranged before end of March 2015. But there is no progress.

There are delays due to material supply...then there are delays due to construction team... however this does not change the fact that the residents are highly inconvenienced. Old people struggling to climb the steps is a common sight. Hope this gets resolved soon. Will update this blog once it is done.


Work is still half-way through. (status as on July 23, 2014)

The problem is that the workers use the common area power and leave the dust and debris there for the residents to clean up. Very bad. No use escalating to site engineers or even to Vikram Structures Pvt. Ltd. (VSPL)

Moreover till last week the doors were not put up. They leave the opening as is without covering and we were scared of the safety of the kids. That way it is a relief today.

In fact VSPL has to pay 10000 to 15000 per month per resident for any delay after April 2014. They told us to occupy in September to avoid paying this. Further, they have not provided all the committed facilities and amenities till date. Lift is pending. Not yet got Cauvery Water Connection also.
