Beyond mandate?

The RA approved Housing Board has also been removed from their positions, and have been locked out of the Housing Google accounts as well as the Housing Service office. They are concerned that the new group largely lack experience and is overstepping its mandate by allocating Auroville assets without following the guidelines of the Housing Policy.

The RA approved Housing Board, like other RA approved groups removed by Office Orders, say they are continuing to serve the community to the best of their ability. However, they understand that it is not possible to ask the community not to approach the new team as many day-to-day issues are urgent and have to be dealt with. But they advise the community to approach them with care and ask for all decisions to be given in writing.
