The RWA's president, Amrendra Singh Rakesh, stated, 'As the MCD has said earlier that water and power supply will be disconnected after Oct 12, many residents are leaving the society today. The final numbers will be known only by night.' This move comes after a series of legal battles and safety concerns over the structural integrity of the complex.
Situated in North Delhi's Mukherjee Nagar area, the housing complex was built between 2007 and 2009 and allotted under a Delhi Development Authority (DDA) scheme by 2011-12. Over the years, the complex has faced severe structural deterioration, including deep cracks in walls and ceilings, which have raised significant safety concerns.
There are around 336 high-income group (HIG) and middle-income group (MIG) flats in the complex. Despite the structural issues, approximately 90 residents have not vacated the building as of now, according to Rakesh. The DDA issued a tender in March this year to demolish Signature View Apartments, declaring the complex structurally unsafe.
The DDA has also begun rent payouts to Signature View residents to facilitate their relocation while the revamp moves ahead. The apex court has refused to halt the demolition of the apartments, emphasizing the urgency of addressing the safety concerns.
The situation has been a source of distress for many residents, who have been living in uncertainty for years. The RWA has been working tirelessly to ensure that residents receive the necessary support and assistance during this challenging time.
In a related development, the DDA has initiated a comprehensive plan to rebuild the complex, ensuring that safety and quality standards are met. The residents are hopeful that this will lead to a safer and more secure living environment in the future.
For now, the focus remains on ensuring a smooth and safe transition for the remaining residents. The RWA and local authorities are working together to provide the necessary support and resources to help residents through this difficult period.
The structural issues at Signature View Apartments highlight the importance of regular maintenance and inspections in residential complexes. It also underscores the need for robust regulatory frameworks to ensure the safety and well-being of residents in such developments.
