Our full manifesto is built on the registered PFCAOA bye-laws, so every promise in it is something the Board can actually do.
A full water audit by day 30 — every borewell, sump, tank and 24 months of tanker spend, published. Monthly NABL-accredited testing of the inlet, every borewell and a rotating sample of flats, with results up within 48 hours, good or bad. No tanker enters without a lab certificate. A costed Cauvery Stage V plan put to your vote against what we spend on tankers each year.
A one-page dashboard by the 10th: collections against budget, spend by head, arrears ageing, reserves and open complaints — same format every month. Every contract above ₹5 lakh a year in a public register; anything above ₹25 lakh by open tender with three bids and the comparison published. Security, facility management, tanker and STP contracts re-tendered in year one.
The bye-laws already cap Board spending at ₹5 lakh a year outside the approved budget. We will enforce that, and add a General Body rule: any project above ₹50 lakh, any new structure on common land, any change of use of an amenity or any special levy needs a written proposal 21 days ahead, a town hall and a residents' vote, with the result published the same week.
Every proposal for a shared space goes through the same route — 21 days' notice, a town hall, a residents' vote. A published annual calendar of celebrations across communities, by rotation, with a small published budget. A complete file of sanctioned plans and approvals kept in the office and open to any member, so the next Board starts from facts rather than memory.
A forensic audit of three years of accounts and vendor contracts within 90 days, by a firm chosen on open tender, with our cost per square foot benchmarked against five comparable townships — both published in full. A maintenance rate you can check, revised only at the AGM and never by circular. Every owner in arrears offered a written payment plan and mediation before any notice.
A written trigger: five similar cases in seven days. Residents told the same day, the health office and BWSSB within 48 hours, independent sampling of every source within 72, daily updates until it closes. A 24x7 helpline with an ambulance on standby and a published target of under ten minutes to any tower, AEDs at the clubhouse and main gate, and two trained first-responders per tower.
Motion-sensor LED lighting piloted in two towers within 90 days, measured savings published, then rolled out funded from the savings. EV-ready basements: a BESCOM load study, metered pay-per-use bays built to fire norms, first bays within six months. A plastic-free campus with refill stations, per-tower water use published monthly, and a mini pet park sited and designed by residents' vote.
Targets, not intentions: peak gate entry under three minutes, 99% lift uptime with a 30-minute rescue, 90% waste segregation at source, and 80% of noise complaints closed within 14 days. A community-dog policy written with pet-owners and worried residents together within 90 days. A café put to feasibility and a vote. A tenant welcome kit within 60 days.
Dated milestones, published as they happen.
A slate that cannot be removed is not accountable, and a promise with no date attached cannot be checked. Both of those are in our own hands, so we are putting them in yours.
Nothing here is a slogan. Every commitment has a date or a number attached, published in our manifesto — and we built it on the powers the association already has and has not been using.
