Salsette’s Bldg.3 Gets New Mgmt Committee

After nearly two decades, on 4th March, 2018, Salsette Parsi Colony’s Building No. 3 (A and B) finally held elections for the successful formation of a much needed new Management Committee. Though as per executive requirements, such elections are to be held every five years, this section of the colony stagnated in administrative neglect, which had caused great inconvenience to a large number of its residents. The new dynamic Management Committee, chosen by the majority of residents in this first formal elections in nearly twenty years, comprises Eruch Irani, Hanosh Santok, Firoze Tafti, Firdos Irani, Khushru Cooper, Nazneen Karbhari and Ruzbeh Daruwalla.

Speaking to Parsi Times, one of the leading vote-getters in the Management Committee who is a senior banking official, Hanosh Santok, said, “I’m genuinely overwhelmed with the show of faith by our residents in our Committee and in me, and I am thankful to all who voted for us. I commend the seniors in our Committee who have been putting in tremendous effort for a long time now, with the only aim of improving things for the benefit of all our residents.  I’m proud and grateful to be a part of the new Committee which is committed to bettering the living conditions and smoothening out any administrative glitches that have been inconveniencing our residents for a while.”

A couple of residents of Bldg 3, who requested anonymity, said, “We are all very relieved that we could finally hold free and fair elections where we were able to choose the candidates of our choice. We look forward to the new committee setting things right and are glad that things will now be handled by people who will listen to us and cater to our needs.” Yet another added, “Hanosh Santok has been a great help to us as he is a very dynamic professional who is aware of the laws and bye-laws and we are happy that he will be one of the steering forces that will bring in a sense of order and security for us.”

The designations of the new Management Committee – namely the Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer will be formally announced on 10th March by the Election Officer.
