The under-construction site of DB Ozon Complex, located near Dahisar Check Naka, has become a cause of depression for over 3,600 families. Having paid 80 per cent of the total cost for their dream homes, the buyers are still waiting to get possession for more than four years. Booking for the project had started on the eve of Gudi Padwa in 2008 with a proposed completion in December 2012. However, the buyers alleged that since December 2012, the project completion dates have been postponed 12 months every year, with no official confirmation on the final date. Those who have invested heavily in the property are also paying rent for their current accommodation and EMIs for their future homes. Around 200 people who have been meeting at the site to find a solution said that the project, with no ongoing construction work and absence of direct communication with the organisation, has burnt a hole in their pockets.
