The Brave Pedestrian

Mr Krishnanraj Rao, Having reviewed the video where the electrical outlets are mounted, namely , the light switch and dimmer switch. It should be highlighted here that this method of installation does not adhere to the installation guidelines of any drywall manufacturer. What is shown in the video is a section of floor track that has been adapted on site and used in an untested method of installation. I note that in a previous video you have stated that the board is of a Saint-Gobain brand.      In this video the board is of a Usgboral brand on what appears to be a Rondo metal stud section.  Are these partition walls in completely different apartments??  What drywall system manufacturer is being used in this flat?  While it is not unusual to have different manufacturers supplying one project it is unusual to have multiple different manufacturers materials used in the same flat as if there is ever an issue with the sys...

Hi guys. I received this letter from a professional who works for a global contractor for dry-wall technology projects. The letter from Mr Matthew Thomas explains what exactly is wrong with the gypsum board walls at Lodha New Cuffe Parade. The letter, which was emailed to me, was read out aloud by me in this video . If you prefer to read it, the email is copy-pasted below. -------------------------------------------------------------------- matthew thomas <matthewthomasdrywall@yahoo.com> Jan 19, 2019, 9:21 PM (2 days ago) To Mr Krishnaraj Rao I have been involved in Senior level management in the drywall industry both in South Africa and Europe for over twenty years and would like to highlight certain items to you regarding your drywall videos,  more specifically titled “ Lodha NCP punching holes in Dioro wall ” The use of drywall in a residential tower would not be consi...

Mumbai, 9th January 2019: Crorepati residents of Lodha New Cuffe Parade project, please take a good look at cricket pitch, football field and five-star lifestyle of your tower, and ask yourselves if this is the lifestyle that Lodha group promised you in the glossy brochures and full page advertisements. The residential towers of Lodha NCP -- namely Dioro, Evoq, Enchante and Elisium -- have received a partial Occupancy Certificate. MMRDA, the civic body that issued this certificate, thinks that these towers are fit for human habitation. But are they really? If they are fit for habitation, why is there so much construction material and rubble in the playgrounds and recreational spaces? And why is there so much construction netting all around the towers? Why are the residents restricted from accessing the open-to-sky spaces around the towers? The answer is: beecause there is a very high probability that some construction materials will come crashing down from the terrace on ...

Mumbai, 8th December 2018: Going behind the backs of the flat owners and residents of the posh Lodha New Cuffe Parade, a Lodha employee named Vinod R Parab has submitted applications on behalf of Dioro, Elisium, Enchante (and maybe Evoq also) to the state cooperation department on 17th October, 2018.   Lodha employee Vinod R Parab, who gave his residence address as "BDD Chawl, NM Joshi Marg, Mumbai 400011" claimed to have been elected as chief promoter by nine flat-owners each of Dioro, Elisium and Enchante.  Many flat-owners, when contacted, said that they had no knowledge of their name and signature being on such an application!  EVIDENTLY, NO SUCH ELECTIONS EVER HAPPENED. The law requires that a meeting of the promoters of the proposed cooperative society is held, where the chief promoter is elected, and a resolution is passed for seeking a certain name registration by the government department. It is evident that no such meeting was held. It i...

Mumbai, 12 November, 2018: If Lodha New Cuffe Parade were a movie, it might get a one-star rating out of five from its present occupants; and it would be "A" rated, because it is scary and unsafe for children. If Lodha New Cuffe Parade were a car, it would have to be recalled. Lodha NCP Wadala is touted as a super-luxury real estate project, and each flat is sold at between Rs 2.5 to 7 cr. But customers are not just disappointed, they are shocked to discover that these super-expensive flats flats are poorly designed, made of poor-quality materials, substandard, defective, prone to damage and seepage. Basic design flaws in the flats, the towers, and the entire layout, make it dangerous for occupants, maintenance staff and passersby.  Lodha NCP towers like Dioro, Enchante and Evoq have got part-OC (Occupation Certificate) from MMRDA, but they are unfit for habitation. The part-OC appears to be due to MMRDA officials' negligence or corruption, or both. MMRDA appea...
