Hi Samar
The problems you have raised are very valid. All the residents have had similar experiences. Its not right though to park all the responsibility at the door of RWA. Constituents of RWA are usually common men and women who happen to be residents. They don't proclaim to have more wisdom than the other fellow residents. But they think that its more fruitful to take up causes collectively.
I dont know which RWA member you met who said that all is well. One has to be blind to say that. May be he would have been a fan of a famous Amir Khan movie. We all have been blind to be living up with the Shahberi pulia for over an year now. But when a meeting is called to discuss it, 5 people turn up.
The lift controversy culminated in Active Rescue device being installed in lifts. The other course of action could have been to stall all communication channels with the builder and fight the issue in courts. Safety of residents come first.
RWA has fought tooth and nails with stakeholders on the issue of commercial activities in the society and the society becoming a heaven for mischievous student activities. If you have attended any such meetings you will know how much motherly love for students and man's right to earn exists in your neighborhood. There is a lot of love for animals as well. Lets not get into that though. RWA members have been hounded by goons on this issue mind you. You have to attend a RWA meeting to get details.
To selfdestruct is not an option for RWA, when the stakes of residents are at stake. May be there has been a lack of communication with regards to what the RWA is doing and grappling with. They bring out hours from the same 24 allocated hours in a day and spend it on common causes. May be as a group they are not as successful as people like them to be, but to paint them as enemies and unethical may be taking your anger a bit too far. In the wrong direction. May be they need more resident support.
Lets bring constructive ideas on the table. I respect your brave email. Any financial impropriety on the part of any RWA constituent is deplorable and should be reported for sure.
Kind Regards
Mohammad Abu Nasar

DEAR FRIENDS,
IF YOU ARE A PEACEFUL RESIDENT LIKE ME THEN YOU MUST BE FACING A LOT OF PROBLEMS SINCE YOU SHIFTED TO YOU FLAT IN CROSSINGS. CALL IT SEAPAGAE, THEFT, LOW QUALITY, PARKING, COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY, AND THE LIST IS ENDLESS. INITIALLY I KEPT FIGHTING WITH BUILDER AND MAINATENANCE PEOPLE ALL ALONE THEN I STARTED TALKING MY NEIGHBOURS AND REALIZED THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. I AND MY NEIGHBOUR TALKED TO A RWA MEMBER IN LOBBY AND HE SAID HE IS NOT FACING ANY SUCH PROBLEM AND I SHOULD ADJUST IF THERE LITTLE INCONVENIENCE OR TALK TO BUILDER MYSELF. I AND MY NEIGHBOUR GOT DISAPPOINTED AND AFTER FEW DAYS WE TALKED TO ANOTHER RWA MEMBER AND GOT SIMILAR REPLY. THIS HAS MADE US MAD. I AND MY NEIGHBOUR RAKESH HAD DISCUSSED AT LENGTH THOUGHT OF OBSERVING THE PATTER THERE ON TO KNOW WHAT EXACTLY IS HAPPEING. I ALSO TALKED TO MY EARLIER APARTMENT'S RWA MEMBER ON PHONE. THEN WHENEVER A REPORT A PROBLEM TO MAINATENCNE I EITHER HAVE TO CALL 10 TIMES TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED OR IT IS NOT FIXED AT ALL. I AND RAKESH STARTED COLLECTNG DATA AND FOUND THAT RWA MEMBERS (SPECIALLY TOP ONE) NEVER FACE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE MAINATENCNE AGENCY TAKE GOOD TAKE. THEY ALSO SEND PLUMBUR, ELECTRICIAN, ETC TO THEIR HOUSES AT REGULAR INTERVAL TO MAKE SURE THEY DON'T FACE ANY ISSUE. THEN I TALKED TO THAT SAME RWA MEMBER AND HE SIMPLY DENIED IT. AROUND 2 WEEKS BACK I WAS VISITING MAINTENCE AGENCY TO TALK TO THEIR SENIOR MOST PERSON TO TELL MY PROBLEMS AND FOUND THAT SIR IS BUSY IN IMPORTANT MEETING. I WAITED THERE FOR 1 HOUR AND COULD EASILY LISTEN PEOPLE HAVING FUN TIME IN MEETING AT CUP OF TEA. THEY KEPT TALKING IN LIGHT MOOD AND KEPT LAUGHING. ANYWAY, WHEN MEETING GOT OVER I SAW THEY ARE NONE OTHER THEN MY OWN RWA 5-6 TOP MEMBERS HAVING FUN TIME WITH BUILDER AND MAINTENCNE MEMBERS.
I STARTED THINKING ALL OUR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE AND FOUND THAT OUR ACTUAL ENEMY IS NOT BUILDER OR MAINTENCE TEAM BUT THOSE WHO ARE SAYING THEY ARE OUR FRIENDS. I COULD RECOLLECT HOW OUR RWA RESCUED BUILDER AND MAINTENCE AGENCY TIME TO TIME WHENEVER THEY WERE IN TROUBLE. BUT WHEN I SAID I AM IN TROUBLE THEY SAID YOU NEED TO ADJUST AND THEY ARE NOT FACING ANY SUCH ISSUE. 2 LIFE THREATERING LIFT INCIDENT HAD HAPPENED IN MY SOCIETY BUT BUILDER AND MAINTENCE AGENCY HAD LAST LAUGH. OUR VERY OWN RWA VERY SMARTLY RESCUED THEM.THERE ARE COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY HAPPENING BUT NO ONE IS SAYING ANYTHING. THERE ARE NUENCES HAPPENING BY OUTSIDE COLLEGE GUYS AND SOME COMMENT PASSING ALSO THERE BUT NOTHING HAPPENING BY RWA. BUILDER WAS MAKING ILLIGAL CONSTRUCTION BUT RWA KEPT SILENT. THERE ARE NUMBER OF THEFT BUT RWA KEPT SILENT. THERE IS SEAPAGE AND POOR QUALITY BUT RWA PEOPLE DON'T SEE IT. THERE IS ILLIGALITY IN ELECTRICITY CHARGES BUT RWA DON'T DO ANYTHING. THOUGH FOR ALL SUCH WRONG DOING THEY INITIALLY SAY THEY WILL FIGHT WITH BUILDER AND MAINTENCE BUT AFTER SOME TIME ALL IS FORGOTTON. IF ANYTHING GOOD HAPPENS (EVEN AS SMALL AS DUSTBIN) RWA IMMEDIATELY EMAIL TO WHOLE SOCIETY TO TAKE CREDIT AND GIVING A FALSE IMPRESSION THAT THEY ARE FIGHTING BUILDER.
LAST WEEK I MET A ELECTRICIAN IN SHAHBERI WHO USED TO WORK IN OUR SOCIETY 4-5 MONTHS BACK AND HE TALKED TO ME HOW HE WAS FIRED AND NOW HE IS WORKIGN FOR HIMSELF BUT STRUGLLING TO GET WORK. I TOLD HIM IF I HAVE SOME PERSONAL ELECTICITY WORK FOR HIM THEN I WILL CALL HIM. THEN HE TOLD ME HOW BUILDER MAINTENCE AND RWA FLAT OWNERS ARE WORKING TOGETHER AND FOOLING ALL OTHER RESIDENTS. HE TOLD ME HOW A BONE IS GIVEN TO DOGS BY BUILDER TO KEEP THRERE MOUTH SHUT. FOR ALL WRONGDOINGS THERE IS A SHARE WHICH REACHES THE RESPECTIVE PERSON BE IT LIFT THREATEING INCIDENT OR ILLEGAL CONSTRUCTION OR SOMETHING ELSE OR EVEN REGULARLY.
THIS HAS GIVEN MY ONE OF BIGGEST SHOCK OF MY LIFE AND I COULD NEVER IMAGINED IT. I LOST COMPLETE HOPE SINCE THEN.
LONG BACK I HEARD THAT YOU CAN EASILY WIN A REAL ENEMY (CALL IT BUILDER MAINTENCE) BUT YOU CAN NOT WIN A ENEMY WHO PRETENDS TO BE FRIEND (CALL IT RWA).
NOW THINK YOURSELF ABOUT YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE AND SEE WHO IS YOUR ACTUAL ENEMY. I AM ALSO READY TO FILE A COLLECTIVE POLICE CASE OR CONSUMER COURT CASE AGAINST OUR SO CALLED FRIENDS FOR FOOLING PEOPLE LIKE ME FOR SO LONG.
THANK U
SAMAR
