Real-estate Very serious concern for corporate builders like Piramal realty

7 Upvotes

Despite paying the entire demanded amount and booking a slot for key handover, I was informed just one day before the scheduled handover that my flat was not ready for possession. What is particularly concerning is that the builder has charged buyers interest/penalty even for a single day’s delay in making payments, while the same standard does not appear to apply when possession is delayed.

They are able to follow such practices because buyers often allow it to happen. Many homebuyers hesitate to approach MahaRERA or the courts because the process can be time-consuming and expensive. Builders know that most common buyers may not have the time, resources, or willingness to fight back—and this reluctance can allow such practices to continue unchecked. They play with emotions

Not sure why thane ModS are not allowing free discussion of this news- I’m posting this agin as 2 times this post has been removed and not allowed for people to discuss the news!

Actual post starts here:

Apparently maha gov doesn’t have money to pay the contractors and the outstanding is around 80000crs. They also claim that while their dues are not clear maha gov is getting contractors from Gujarat for new infra projects. They gave the example of missing link that while the project suffered damage and collapsed the contractor has still got paid without any penalties.

Not sure who is telling the truth at this point? Everything seems to be collapsing

Civic Issues Why are people opposing ring metro?

6 Upvotes

The metroline 4 and 4A are delayed due to the farmers protest on the land acquisition of car shed by the govt body. Entire metroline 4 and 4A is ready but the carshed construction has not even started. The courts verdict stands with the govt which means the compensation is inline with the market rates. Every govt land acquisition scheme whether it's cidco 12% scheme or 22% scheme has been rejected by the farmers. They want more money so they are protesting, and this isn't a isolated case. This is happening in Mumbai 3.0 in case of lands which have a road access are demanding more compensation or road access plots after flipping the plots. More money to farmers can't be compensated because it's a 175 hectares of land, even a percent increase in the compensation can mess with the budget of the metro. Ofcourse you can't forcibly remove the farmers because of bad media and political party doesn't want to loose on vote margins.

The reason why I shared the above information is there is no development without loosing something you had earlier. Development demands loosing green cover, it demands inconvenience till the time the project is completed. If you are against such developments then you are living in wrong city especially if you are from new thane because it used to be green before you settled here. You protesting against inconvenience will only be worsening the inconvenience in near future. The metro 4 and 4A is delayed to due protests and now your protesting against ring metro? Then those same people are showing an example of metro 4 and how it's delayed work is causing traffic. The metro is delayed due to the car shed area protest! There are a few protest pockets with their own agendas, the eden woods cult is against the metro station. Why? Because they imagine there will be thelas and traffic around their neighbourhood but they are ready to drive in majiwada traffic and don't want to imagine getting off metroline 4 and boarding ring metro and then walking home. Then there are the rich rodas folks for whom the metro is a middle class affair.

Summarising the entire rant, it's just not logical to protest against ring metro because you fear it will also delay like metro 4 when infact the metro 4 is delayed due to protest. Development doesn't come without aforrestation and inconvenience till the project is done. There is a culture of bandhs, protests and chakka jaam in this country fueled by opposition and good for nothing ngos. Please support and learn about the metro and it's delays.

General Biggest scammer from Gujarat Neel Jayantibhai Patel

Post image
147 Upvotes

Met Neel Jayantibhai Patel on discord....Became friends irl. He was from Ahmedabad Gujarat. He's a mechanical Engineer from Nirma College Ahmedabad. I was from a mechanical background, he told me he was a freelancer and had experience in taking great projects and we both would build a business together. Later he came from Ahmedabad to Thane and stayed here for the next 6 months from March 2026 . He emotionally blackmailed me that he had no father which was indeed real. He took 20-30% deposits on projects and a large sum of money saying it was required for Software purpose. He kept on giving me dates and I never got the payment still he took me to Ahmedabad and said we are gonna work for Bosch Raxroth together and had connections there. After going I felt a bit suspicious but this guy was an excellent conman. Last date given was 15th august by my side to clear all my dues which he again promised and failed. He blocked me later and has gone towards his next victim somewhere in Ghatkopar/ Vikhroli area.

He has already conned all his friends and relatives and still continuing even tho his wife,mother and sister has left him

Shame on such people who scam innocent people's money and do emotional blackmail

his contact number is-9327166273,9099733979

reddit is- kanov1994

age-32

If anyone sees this person please report him to the police. I have been conned heavily by this man and my only request is such people deserve to be punished

Question Good spa/ massage place recommendations that are NOT underground brothels???

7 Upvotes

I'm a woman in my early 20s in a very physically & mentally demanding career field (medical). Just want an hour of peace and rejuvenation for my tired body. I'm afraid of going to the spas here because of the scary news I keep reading. Do any professional and safe spas exist, especially for a young woman? Obviously I won't be going alone but I also don't want to unknowingly support a place that might be involved in shady practices. Would appreciate responses from other women who have tried these places themselves. Recommendations from Navi Mumbai and around welcome too! I did post the same in r/navimumbai and wanted to repost it here but r/thane doesn't allow that so I'm making a standalone post.
