Process for Residents to File Complaints Against Housing Societies in Delhi

“Clean House” runs as a community court to report about crime and corruption happening in Delhi’s cooperative group housing societies.

By Rakesh Raman

Introduction

The cooperative group housing societies (CGHS) of Delhi have become dangerous centres of crime and corruption. The crimes in these housing societies are being committed by the management committee (MC) members or administrators in connivance with the corrupt officials of Registrar Cooperative Societies (RCS) of Delhi Government, Delhi Development Authority (DDA), Delhi Police, Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC), and a few other departments. read more

RTI Application to Seek Floor Area Ratio (FAR) Construction Information from DDA

As a journalist and environmental activist, I have been running citywide campaigns to stop FAR construction.

By Rakesh Raman

Floor Area Ratio (FAR) Construction in Delhi’s Cooperative Group Housing Societies (CGHS) is a dangerous work which spreads harmful pollution and causes accidents in housing complexes where people (men, women, children, and senior citizens) are living. 

As a journalist and environmental activist, I have been running citywide campaigns to stop FAR construction. In March / April 2024, I had sent RTI applications to various departments including Delhi Development Authority (DDA), Delhi Police, Registrar Cooperative Societies (RCS) of Delhi Government, and Delhi Fire Service (DFS) to seek FAR information.  read more

How to Stop Crimes and Corruption in Delhi

Today, crimes and corruption in Delhi’s cooperative group housing societies (CGHS) are increasingly rapidly, while the existing laws for these societies are ineffective.

Therefore, there is an immediate need to formulate new laws and implement an effective administrative model to safeguard the rights and interests of millions of people who live in these housing societies. read more
