KRERA's Observation

"To have a cosy house is everyone's dream. To fulfil that dream, one could take the risk of investing all lifetime savings... That being so, (if) the developer resorts to using the hard-earned money of investors in a reckless manner, it would not only shatter the dreams of investors, but also make them run from pillar to post."
