Respected Sir, The Society where I reside, Saket CHSL, Swantraveer Savarkar Marg, Thane (W) is a single Society of 24 buildings comprising of 672 members. The complex was constructed in the period 1989 - 1993. Being a single Society for 672 members has brought with it its pluses and minuses.

The same numbers prove to be a bane as many times, there is virtually no agreement amongst members on many subjects. One such subject is the Repairs and Renovation of our almost 25 years old buildings.

As there is no OC, we have no
