Dear Fellow members
 
Few interesting facts have come to light which I wish to share with you.
 
1. I called up the Election Officer Mr. Amit Kumar (98-919-09621) and  he shared with me that the Society has represented to the Election officer that the intimation of the elections was sent to the members under Certificate of Posting (UPC).
 
This is strange since just a few days back the Society sent demand notices for 12,000 by courier and just few days later the election intimation is sent under UPC.
 
You can draw logical inferences as did I
 
2. In response to my e-mail of 24th February, 2009 I have received 11 (Eleven) mails in response in addition to an additional 4-5 phone calls. Each of the e-mails and phone calls confirmed that NO ONE RECD AN INTIMATION OF ELECTIONS. Not even a single e-mail confirming that intimation was recd.
 
3. In response to a phone call made by me, the Hon'ble member who has filed his nomination papers, however, confirmed that he recd the election schedule under certificate of posting.
 
4. Clearly, the intimation was sent, if at all, to only those members who have filed their nomination papers and none at all to the members who agitated in previous two attempts to have elections conducted in an impartial manner.
 
4. The Society has often claimed that it is internet savy. It did allotment of plots by conducting a computerised draw available live on internet by engaging a software expert. It claims to have a website www.grnoida.co.nr. Login: Krishna, password: password. YET IT DID NOT E-MAIL THE MEMBERS ELECTION SCHEDULE ON E-MAIL.
 
5. There is no official word from the society office bearers. My efforts to reach them were in vain. The following Phone calls were made:
     a) I called up Mr. R.K. Verma, administrator of the Society on 24.02.2009 at 9.47 A.M., 9.50 A.M., 10.03 A.M. and  10.04 A.M. at Telephone No. 99714115587
     b) I called up Mr. Vipin Kumar on 24.02.2009 at 9.54 A.M. - Telephone No. 9891237732 - The telephone was not picked up and the call was not returned till this evening.
 
6. Under the circumstances, I doubt whether the Elections could be termed fair, transparent or in conformity with due process of law. In fact as one member has put it could they be called elections at all, since it is not clear who is electing whom. Have you even seen a case whether a person can elect himself?
 
Shall keep you updated
