                We, the undersigned, write this petition to draw attention to the pervasive issue of mismanagement, corruption, and lack of accountability within housing associations across India. As residents and stakeholders, we have witnessed and experienced firsthand the abuse of power by some association committee members, leading to financial misappropriation, neglect of safety measures, and disregard for the welfare of residents.

                    <li class="py-3"><span class="fw-bold">Suppression of Dissent:</span> Intimidation and harassment of residents who dare to question or expose irregularities.</li>

            <div class="fw-bold py-3 text-danger fs-3">Why It Matters</div>
            <div class="col-md-12 py-3"><p>Housing associations were established to create safe, harmonious living environments. However, unchecked power and lack of oversight have turned many associations into hubs of corruption, adversely affecting the lives of countless families. This is not just about housing; it is about justice, integrity, and the fundamental rights of residents.</p></div>
