About Mahagunpuram flat layout: Badly designed

Friends,

This weekend, I had a chance to visit mahagunpuram site ater long time. I visited one of the flats in Rddhi (1300 SQ FT) and another in Vinayak (900 SQ FT). I had below observation, which I did not like... Please let me know, if you had similar observation/opinion.

1. None of the flat's rooms are exactly rectangle/Square in shape. At least one side of the walls is projected. When I checked with my agent, he told that it is a design. But then I observed in all the rooms incuding hall !

2. The lavatory (latrine) sheet is being fitted exactly in the mid of the bathroom . The bath shower will be at the far corner. This means, after you have taken a bath (pure), you have to pass along the lavatory sheet (impure) to exit. Not a very comfortable situation, specially for religious people!

3. The beam of the architecture is eating into the Cabinet/Almiraah space. This looks eagly due to unwanted projection of the beam, and also almiraah space is crunched (You can not make even a 6/3 standard almiraah through wood work.)

4. The vitrified tiles in the rooms are of cheaper quality (Small in size). I was expecting them to at least fit  larger size tiles in the Drawing Room (Hall), which looks decent.

5. The kitchen drainage pipe of the overhead flat is passing through kitchen. If you just peep at the kitchen ceiling, you can see that. Ideally drainage pipes are fitted along the outer walls. My agent told me, that this would be covered by false ceiling. But it seems a poor design.

6. The similar observation with the drainage pipe in Bathrooms. think of a situation, if you overhead flat's bathroom has developed a leakage. In order to repair that, plumber will break your cieling ?



I had reached at the site at the end of the day, so could observe this only in dim light, but really not happy with this all.

Just a question? Do Mahagun's other projects have the same design?

Please pour your opinion?

Open parking space should not be charged by the builder: An Issues

Posting on behalf of our new member Brijesh, Please read the below section for quick review about this.
http://mahagunpuram.blogspot.com/p/current-issues.html
-------------------------

Hi Friend's,

Greetings!

I am Brijesh Karnatak booked a Flat at Mahagun 807 Riddhi.

This is in regard to the payment letter that we have received from Mahagun against Car Parking and
EDC/FFC.

As Ho'ble Supreme Court has passed a judgement that open car parking cannot be sold out. As per the judgement given "Under Section 78 of MOFA Act" , In this regard I would appreciate your opinion as well.

Since We indian have to fight for the rights in order to get the justice and in spite of being aware of the fact if we ignore then the other party get benefited of that. Since a common man is either unaware of the information or do not take interest on the matters.

So I have tried my level best since I received the letter and tried to contact as many as 20 guys who have booked a flat at Mahagun, and told them this is not legal and we need to discuss among our self along with a lawyer to have a second thought before disbursing the payment for open Car Parking.

Please find the below link for the hearing

I would appreciate your opinion in this regard. I had already spoken to approx 4-5 members of the Blog and got an overwhelming response.

So Please Guys lets have your opinion on this ASAP and your availablity for the meeting on SUNDAY....Depanding upon the response we can decide the Venue and time so that Maximum of us can meet.

Please comment on this.

Hope you appreciate the move.

RRTS likely to outrun Metro in Ghaziabad : Ghaziabad Infrastructure Update

Friends,

Here is Ghaziabad Metro related update, for which the current plan could entirely change because of Regional Rapid Transport System being proposed by NCR planning Board. Seems like the future of the city is bright in terms of infrastructure support.


-------------------------------------
The Delhi Metro’s ambitious extension plans in Ghaziabad may take a beating in wake of the arrival of regional rapid transit system (RRTS) — an intercity train-connectivity project by the NCR Planning Board. What has forced the Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) officials to rethink about the Metro extension plans was mainly the cost factor. Also, competition and balance between the two systems of transport is believed to be another reason.
Apart from the first phase of Metro rail from Anand-Vihar in Delhi to Vaishali in Ghaziabad (around 2.57 km), the development authority has already prepared a detailed project report for the Dilshad-Garden to New Bus Stand (around 9.1 km) for the second phase of Metro extension plans.


“But the Metro plans could be reviewed in wake of the expected arrival of RRTS system. For the second phase, only detailed project report (DPR) is prepared and no groundwork has started yet. We will rethink as per feasibility is concerned,” said development authority's vice-chairman Narendra Kumar Chaudhary.


The RRTS plan was presented before the commissioner in Meerut for review last month. At present, the DPR preparation is in process, officials said.


“We cannot have a Metro rail running parallel to an RRTS. This is not a viable solution. For the second phase, the Metro extension plans are likely to take a backseat at Mohan Nagar, which could be developed into a major interchange hub for the Metro and the RRTS users,” said a GDA official.


Earlier, top Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) officials had written to the authority to extend the Vaishali-route to Mohan Nagar. However, the officials are yet to decide over its clearance, as the RRTS-system is also expected to run on the same stretch (Anand-Vihar to Mohan Nagar).


Once underway, the RRTS will connect Anand Vihar to Meerut in UP, via Ghaziabad, on a 58 km two-way stretch, which will be mostly elevated. The train is expected to cover the distance within 45-50 minutes.
