📣 Background Team Vanaha,

We, the residents of Yahavi Project, Phase 1, OCR 9, Vanaha Township, part of the Shapoorji Pallonji larger township region at Village Lavale, Pune – 412115, have repeatedly raised our genuine concerns for the past 13 months with your representatives, including Mr Lalit, Mr Lalwani, and other SPRE staff.

Unfortunately, these issues remain unresolved. We now make this collective appeal requesting that your office schedule a joint project inspection involving the developer’s team, project architects, and society representatives to review and resolve all pending safety, design, and maintenance deficiencies.
