dear mr goswami i wonder if you can voice our problem on your channel cause it relates to cheating by bigwig TATA group company, Tata Housing Development Co Ltd. your word will carry such weight that Tata Housing will buckle... the details are as under: either way thanks... "TATA INORA PARK UNDRI, PUNE – GROSS IRRUGALARITIES IN CONSTRUCTION & POSSESSION OF FLATS BY TATA HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CO. LTD. Buyers taken for a ride since 2010 and it continues… 1. Advertised for 6.3 acre project, actually limited to below 3.0 acre. advertised in Jan/ Feb’2010, as per the agreement the possession was to be given by 31 Oct’2012, remains incomplete even to date. 2. After the application form was filled and the booking amount paid for flats of 976 sq. ft in Feb’2010 the saleable area was revised upwards to 1010 sq ft, without any increase in the carpet area & the building plans and the buyers were forced to pay up & sign the acceptance letter. 3. “Offer of Possession” letter issued on 04/01/2014 without OC (Occupancy Certificate), a copy of the partly completion certificate was sent stating “On Completion of the project final OC must be obtained by THDCL (Tata Housing Development Co. Ltd.). THDCL officials threatened & coerce the buyers to take possession of the flat even though basic necessity such as drinking and washing water is not being supplied. Inora Park is dependent on tanker water and 20 ltr cans of drinking water, how long…??? 4. THDCL claims: there are 5 bore wells pumping water which is treated by the WTP (Water Treatment Plant) and is being supplied. On inspecting the bore wells and the WTP it is found that of nthe 5 bore wells drilled only 3 had some water and these too went dry in Jan/ Feb 2014, with the result as of today NONE of the bore wells are operational as there is no water, in fact there is no water in Undri area as such... WTP is nonfunctional as the water treatment chemicals and some components are supplied by the manufacturer, also there is no water to be treated and there is no electrical connection for the borewells and also the WTP. Absolute Lies. 5. THDCL refuses to provide water analysis report of the bore well water and the output analysis report of the WTP water. because there is no water at all. Though the written request was forwarded to the company through Registered Letter two months back and repeated many times thereafter. 6. The last and final 5% cost of the flat is to be paid “ON POSSESSION OF THE FLAT” but THDCL states that the payment has to be made first and the incomplete & defective flat will then be completed within 4 weeks to be handed over which is not happening. Apart from the above THDCL has started handing over incomplete and defective flats without handing over any possession papers and related documents but making sure to take a written receipt from the flat owners that the flat has been handed over in a defect free condition, without this letter the flat is not being handed over. 7. 5% balance payment and other charges have been jacked up with a threat that interest charges would be applicable w.e.f. 01 April 2014 for all delayed payments @18% pa. 8. The maintenance charges have been manipulated and doubled, would be applicable w.e.f. 01 April 2014, though there is NO OC, NO WATER and THE FLATS ARE DEFECTIVE & INCOMPLETE. 9. Interest on Delayed Payments of installments by the buyers has been levied @ 18% pa. 10. Water meter and Electric meter, which is as per actuals has been manipulated to a whopping Rs120,000.00 to Rs170,000.00 depending on the type of flat. THDCL refuses to show the actual expenses and bills in spite of written requests through Registered Letters, meetings and umpteen reminders through mails to, THDCL Pune Office, senior officials and the CMD. 11. Charges/ Taxes towards betterment/ development of premises including amenities: (THDCL officials brazenly clarify that these are third party charges/ Bribes paid to various Governmental Agencies for getting clearances) are to be paid & borne by the buyers: Rs 55,000 to Rs 75,000 depending on the type of the flat, under the head “Betterment & Amenities” . 12. Maintenance Charges Advance for 1 year has been doubled from Rs 2.50 psf (as per agreement) to Rs 5.00 psf., though in Pune the maintenance charges are well below Rs 2.0 psf. in similar projects. 13. Maintenance Charges Deposit for 1 year @ INR 5.00 psf. to be handed over to the Society as and when formed… is beyond the scope of the sale. There being 250 flats in the project, THDCL wishes to collect approx. 1.8 crores and polish it off while handing over the buildings to the society as and when the society is formed… THDCL has left enough options/ loopholes to use these funds for supposedly development short falls etc. handing over pittance to the Society. This apart the interest charges on this account would amount to Rs 32 lacs pa. 14. Stilt Car parks have been haphazardly allotted across various buildings. You have a flat in one building and the car park in some other building. The stilt Car Parks have been paid for but THDCL now refuses to give the number of the car park allotted even though the full cost of the flat has been paid. 15. In view of the delayed completion of project by THDCL(still under completion), Interest payable to buyers (over 17 months@18% pa, same as THDCL rate) : THDCL refuses to pay interest charges amounting to over Rs 7.00 lacs as of 31/03/2014 and the flats are still incomplete and the interest dues continue to mount. 16. The quality of fitments and the material used inside the flats is of third quality, substandard, commercial grade, second’s defective right from tiles to taps, electrical fittings, doors, locks, marble etc. The workmanship is of an extremely poor quality, a novice job. Demo flats shown and flats that are made are not even 15% of the demo flat in terms of quality and workmanship. At least 50% of the floor tiles are defective/ warped/ damaged or have been fitted unevenly which will have to be relayed. Extensive damaged fitments and tiles. Toilets have flimsy false ceiling with open sewage PVC pipeline of flat above, running directly above your head is nauseating, a design BLUNDER/ failure, a major defect. Ceiling height varies due to defective centering of the slab. I INVITE NDTV TEAM to visit Inora Park and see the substandard and defective flats, which is an eye opener, it is for anybody and everybody to see and believe... 17. THDCL is now forcing the buyers to take possession of the flat without solving any of the problems/ issues/ damages & defects, rectifications. Buyers taking over flats are forced to sign document that flat is handed over in a totally defect free condition. 18. Information on defects and the related issues & problems have been informed in person, over telecom, e mails & writing to THDCL Pune Office, Mr. Rajiv Ambekar, Vice president, THDCL at Mumbai, Mr Brotin Banerjee, CMD, THDCL However Nobody in THDCL is ready to solve the issues and the problems, instead they are just brushing aside and sweeping the MUCK under the carpet, the usual delay tactics. Copies of correspondence between me and THDCL, if required, could be provided. 19. The entire 250 flat owners are facing the same issues & problems but have no option than to take over the defective flats’ paying unreasonable & unjustified, manipulated amounts demanded by Tata. 20. THDCL on enquiring/ request are not willing to give us the flat owner’s contacts list so as to ensure that the buyers don’t get together to take up the issues jointly. 21. Surprisingly there are many TATA GROUP employees who were offered the flats at discounts, are totally dejected & feel that they have been cheated by the very company they are working for. The only buying factor that fooled the buyer was the TATA Brand that caught the unsuspecting people off guard. THDCL is ruining the brand TATA name built over decades. In view of the above, we request the channel to take up the issue with THDCL and also air it on the TV channel & ensure justice to 250 buyers of flats at TATA INORA PARK UNDRI, PUNE, who otherwise have been cheated wholesale, high and dry by the TATA’S, listening to CNBC it could serve as a warning to not to fall a ploy for TATA name and to avoid THDCL altogether.

The recent remarks by Mrs Sonia is nothing but just to pull the slightly confused people who've been loyal to Cong but now inclined towards Modi. Let people decide how much more time be given to her to stay @ 7RCR or look for obliques. Her desperation on the TV interview reminds me of a famous Hindi quote....khikhiayi billi khambha noche...

Hello, To whom it may concern, I have tried to call your office number +91-22-24999944 I was able to talk for few seconds and was disconnected/hanged up on me. Then tried to call again and again someone would pick up and then hang up. This happened multiple times. TIMES NOW is UNAPPROACHABLE to their faithful viewers. I was calling regards to your advertisements of "Powered by XOLO". XOLO are cheating customers by not providing proper description/configurations of products. I have purchased XOLO Q3000 which has a defect of not able to move moveable apps to phone memory. I have tried to contact XOLO customer care and they have hung up on me multiple times for which I have recording of the calls. If this is the type of advertisements run by TIMES NOW IS ALSO ACCOUNTABLE FOR CHEATING CITIZENS OF INDIA. TIMES NOW NEWS CHANNEL IS UNAPPROACHABLE AND RUDE BY HANGING UP CALLS WHICH WHERE CHARGED CALLING LONG DISTANCE. Mobile#: +91-8000996903 +91-9925509639 Regards, Hitesh Upadhyay

Its an earnest request not to call 1) Yatin Oza and 2) Jay Narayan Vyas both from Ahmedabad for participating in any of your channel as both of them completely lack knowledge,presentation power and control over language and patience to listen to other participants..listening to them forces the viewers to close the channel..i am sure you will adhere to my request as they are useless..

Dear Mr. Arnab, I would like to draw your attention for my various mail on this subject.( refer the email exchanges below) Please note that this issue seems to be a serious concern but no media is highlighting it so far. Just to understand the gravity of the likely scam in Medical scam for MBBS seats i am giving the following details for your information. Just for example if each pvt medical colleges take approx. Rs.70 to 80 Lac for selling the medical seat ( average 100 Nos/college) which as per the rules they should allocate on merit basis only. 70 Lac * 100 seat = 70 Crore For assumption if there are 30 autonomous medical college in India then 30 * 70 crore = 2100 crore. You will agree that such amount of money Pvt medical colleges are making at the cost of deserving candidates who work hard to do the study to appear and excel in competitive exams. In short competitive exams are being conducted just for eye wash and fooling everybody in the country. I would also like to share my experience dealing with Times now desk office which so far has given very cold response to my complaint. Even some of the your employee told me why i am wasting their time and they have much bigger issue to address. I can fully understand that above issue may not be very important for your story coverage but your staff has no business to discourage us for addressing the issue in national interest . I know i can not fight this issue alone and this issue can only be address at national level through Media only. Looking forward for a favorable and immediate attention.

Dear Mr. Goswami, I would like you to initiate a discussion on the point of nominated members of our Parliament e.g. Shri Sachin Tendulkar, Ms Rekha, Shri Jhaved Akhtar etc., who hardly attend Parliamentary proceedings. Celebrities like them are a burden on the State's exchequer like providing them residence at New Delhi and free air travel which may probably be used for their own personal purpose. It is high time to stop this business of nominated members from the celebrities.

Dear Arnab, I am speaking from the farthest corner of Assam, posted in North Eastern Coalfield, Coal India Ltd. toiling for the nation for last 25 years, producing Coal along with my colleagues. The SDO of Margherita, conspiring with the local MLA, is hell bent on evicting us from the quarters we have living for last 25 years and more, just on the pretext that it is Govt. Land. The local MLA has vested interest in illegal mining which is rampant. We haven't been given sufficient time to prepare us for the eviction, and we are feeling humiliated along with our families. This is totally unjustified. Please help us fight against those forces which are looting Assam and not allowing conducive atmosphere for industries to grow.

Respected Mr.Goswami, We are sending this mail to you in order to take this issue to the notice of the honourable prime minister of india because we beleived to have changes in india after he becomes the prime minister. Foreign Medical graduates who have attended the medical screening exam in 2014 were expecting the result and which was supposed to be released was not yet released still date. The exam was conducted on 16th june and 17th june 2014 . Nearly 10,000 plus doctors graduated outside india has attended the exam. 1.What is the position of the result? 2. We request the honourable prime minister of india, the minister of external affairs Mrs.Sushma swaraj, the union minister for education Ms Smriti irani,and also the honourable minister for health and family welfare to reveiw the methods of screening conducted by the MCI and the natboard? 3. Will the MBBS students in india pass this screening test conducted by the natboard? this is an very important question. If so how many MBBS students who are trained in india will pass this exam , if they are also asked to write the test conducted by the natboard. 4. The exam conduted by the natboard is done in such a way that only 20% students will pass the exam. is to help the private medical bodies in india or if not the same screening can be given for the doctors passing in india also. 5. Also we request you to take this matter seriously to the government as there is a scarcity for number of doctors in indian hospital and those doctors graduated in india are flying away and when the FMGE doctors who are graduated from outiside india are ready to serve here why cant the government under the leadership of government hospital heads allow them to do their internship and make them registered in india. 6. One way the government is going to have number of doctors also Please request you to work on this and kindly give releif for fmge doctors who are really graduated as doctors and who are ill treated very low than punes and cleaners in the hospital. We are putting forward a question for the new government that are these fmge doctors not even eligible to sit or work in indian hospitals even under the supervision of chief medicall officer of the hospital. Request your speedy intervention in this and this is expected from the fmge students...... hope it will be aired soon.

Dear Mr.Goswami, My regards to you first of all and congratulate you for the interesting debates on Times Nite at 9 pm. I have seen Govts. of Karnataka and Goa heeding to the people's mandate in your channel and canceled their foreign junkets. Now a very hilarious situation in Jharkhand. Elections are due here in Nov and the Urban Development Minister, Mr Suresh Paswan is going on a foreign study tour on 16 tha August with 5 govt officials to study the state of town planning in Spain, Netherlands and Switzerland. If at all they are interested in town planning, they have to just visit the town of Jamshedpur which is 120 kms from the capital of Jharkhand and the most advanced town of Jharkhand as well as India and the 1st planned town of India. The cabinet has approved their travel and the cost comes to Rs.6.18 lacs fon the minister and Rs.15.73 lacs on the officials. When elections are to be held in Nov. in this state, why is he wasting the taxpayers money. Please raise this in ur channel and stop this gross unwarranted expenditure. Thinking you Sir, Yours V.P.Dhanesh
