The Brave Pedestrian

Mumbai, 12 th February, 2017: Horizon Green, the prestigious new Borivali East project, has huge issues. No real drainage system – that's a  serious problem we have written articles about . But there's a more serious worry for flat-purchasers, namely, not getting proper title to the purchased flat at Horizon Green. The confusion on who's legally the builder of Horizon Green -- Raheja, Bhoomi or Prashasti -- is like three men claiming to have fathered one child. On the municipal corporation's records, K Raheja is the builder. But Prashasti Enterprise is claiming to prospective flat-purchasers that it is the builder.

Mumbai, 13th January, 2017: K Raheja Constructions got away with lots of violations in their Horizon Green project in Borivali East .

T he plan was to cover up the lack of a sewage connection by channeling the sludge into a soak pit and pumping it out every month . But this plan backfired when residents of the neighbouring building alerted BMC , who slapped a stop-work notice . But the Rahejas defied the stop work orders, continued the work and complet ed the soak-pit. So MCGM lodged a police complaint and got an FIR registered against the Rahejas .
