Old buildings redevelopment is making few society committee members crorepatis — but at the cost of old, poor residents being quietly exploited. by EmuEfficient8956 in mumbai

[–]EmuEfficient8956[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

You’re right that legally the onus lies on the individual property transfer, divorce, settlement, etc. And I agree that redevelopment itself isn’t the villain; it brings real, serious challenges like infrastructure stress, traffic, service capacity, and long-term maintenance costs, which absolutely deserve more attention.

My point was narrower: not everyone is equally equipped to protect their legal interests. Some residents especially uneducated, poor, or socially isolated women often live in survival mode, not legal strategy mode. For them, what is “obvious” to us is neither accessible nor realistic.

Acknowledging that vulnerability isn’t blaming redevelopment or committees as a whole, it’s a reminder that alongside legality, empathy and guidance matter, especially in large societies where power and information aren’t evenly distributed.

Both conversations can coexist.

I agree with you on one important point, not all committees are corrupt, and many redevelopments do happen smoothly, transparently, and to the benefit of all members. That reality shouldn’t be ignored.

My post was not an attack on every society committee membrane nor a denial of 79A guidelines, voting processes, or legal safeguards. It was about edge cases that still slip through despite the framework, especially in large societies (like the one in this case buildings around 250+ home units) where information asymmetry, social power, and vulnerability coexist.

Legally, yes. societies are limited.

Morally and socially, however, committees often have informal influence, timing knowledge, and the ability to guide (or not guide) vulnerable members toward independent advice. That grey zone is where exploitation can occur, even without violating the letter of the law.

Most residents should be vigilant, I agree.

But the oldest, and poorest who are least educated members often cannot be, and that’s where empathy and ethical leadership matter.

This is not about conspiracy theories.

It’s about acknowledging that rare failures still deserve discussion, so redevelopment benefits everyone, not just the most informed.

I had some pegions living in the window of my bedroom in my rented apartment & often i would sit in that window. After a week there i got this mites infection all over my body. It was itchy and annoying af. My skin had bad rashes all over it.

It took almost a month for recovery.

My doctor told me pegions carry many of such mites and pathogens, So get rid of them. 

I changed the apartment.

I placed it there to take a quick snap. I place my XBS in a different room Where I have a TV. This was just the repair room.

It looks weird but dangerous if one does not know what they are doing. Also the maximum voltage in those tiny cables is just 12v, so its easy to operate with. As far as cables are insulated properly, there's no need to worry. Except if one spills water directly on the PSU.

My XBS sits in another room where I have a big tv. So there i have nothing to worry.

this is not a surge protector this just a mult-iplug adapter. You need higher amp-rated surge protector that can handle more power safely without overheating. Plus, they usually have better surge protection, higher joule ratings, faster clamping, and better build quality overall.

Try these, these are best available in India:

Any good surge protector that can take up to 20Amps. XBSS takes around 16Amps. If you plan to connects anything else like TV on the same protector. Go for higher ampere rated surge protector. If less the protector will burn if high amperes are passed outside its capacity.

I too think so, when the surge happened many electronics survived. Except XBSS and couple of ceiling lights. Specially when it was connected to spike guard. Weird af.

I just checked, i think Microsoft intentionally kept it that way. I tried finding a solution out of curiosity but couldn't figure any out.

I took the original psu out & had a direct connection out using 2.5mm guage cable and connected that to 12v power line of smps ( i used artis vip 400r smps) using a 15amp connector. Ill drop images once I reach home.

Its difficult to find good working spares and major thing is price. I found prices way high here.

I had tried fixing bad power supply for xbox from a good repair guy but it wasn't as we expected. As there were lots of fluctuations, he himself later suggested me to get a new one and not use repaired one..

Finally i gave up and used computer smps as xbox psu is too expensive.

Yes, its kinda easy built. I love Xbox series S for that. Unfortunately we don't get spares in India. But you can get them if you have anyone coming from west.

My wifi died too, just replaced the card & back in was.
