In the Earth Towne project of Greater Noida West, hundreds booked homes, taking bank loans to pay for their flats. Yet years later, their homes remain undelivered. Initial disputes between the builder's partners halted work. Buyers turned to the courts but now complain that court dates keep being postponed. Frustrated, they declare that if hearings don't begin, they may camp at the project site.
