A heated dispute has arisen among residents of Migsun Green Mansion, a condominium complex in Greater Noida, over the construction of an unauthorized temple in the society's common area. The temple is being built on a park that serves as the only play area for children in the complex, leading several residents to file a complaint with the district magistrate and the Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA).
The group of concerned residents has submitted a letter to the authorities to address the issue, stating that the temple's construction encroaches on the park, which is not part of the original project layout. CBS Yadav, president of the society's ad-hoc AOA, said the temple's construction is illegal and is being supported by the builder. According to Yadav, the temple will not only infringe on the common area but also restrict the space available for children to play, negatively impacting their quality of life.
The 554-unit complex, of which 450 are occupied, is still being managed by the developer, Migsun Group, as the occupation and completion certificates have been pending since 2016. Since the builder still manages the society's maintenance, residents argue that the responsibility to prevent encroachment falls on the developer. This has led to increased tension between the residents and the builder, with each party seeking a resolution to the dispute.
UPSIDA regional manager Anil Kumar Sharma has reportedly contacted Surajpur SHO Avadhesh Pratap Singh regarding the matter, who then instructed senior inspector Dharamveer Singh to take action. Police visited the site but did not find any representative from the residents' group or the builder present. This has further complicated the situation, as it has become difficult to ascertain the actual parties responsible for the unauthorized construction.
Inderbir Singh, president of Migsun Group, denied any involvement in the unauthorized construction and stated that it was a matter between two residents' groups. He added that if a majority of residents request the structure's removal, they will forward the letter to the police for action. Singh also mentioned that they have applied for an occupation certificate, which could potentially resolve some of the ongoing issues within the complex.
However, some residents believe that the builder's denial of involvement in the construction is an attempt to evade responsibility. They argue that the developer should be more proactive in addressing the concerns of the residents and ensuring that the common area remains a safe and accessible space for all.
The issue has also raised questions about the role of local authorities in regulating the use of common spaces in residential complexes. Many residents feel that stronger oversight and clearer guidelines could prevent similar disputes from arising in the future.
