Hundreds of homebuyers of the crisis-hit Jaypee Group who have not got possession of their flats carried out a protest here on Sunday, with an attempt to draw the attention of the Centre.

The aggrieved homebuyers gathered at Jantar Mantar in the heart of the national capital around 10 a.m. for a silent protest, several of them holding placards and posters critical of Jaypee Group’s Manoj Gaur and raising slogans against him and the banks involved.

The buyers also said they wanted to meet Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, but could not do so. “If [Prime Minister] Narendra Modi wants it [solution to the issue], he can get it done,” said Gaurav Pal, a homebuyer in Jaypee Wishtown, Noida.
