  "account": "A Noida woman has shared a video on Instagram showing waterlogged basements in her premium residential society following rainfall, sparking questions about the value of the high rents and maintenance fees residents pay. In the clip, Aanchal Singh expressed her frustration, questioning whether the residents were getting the facilities they were paying for. The 6-year veteran of the society claimed that despite paying ₹30,000+ in rent and maintenance charges, the residents were only getting adequate infrastructure, such as a \"complimentary swimming pool\" in the basement. Singh also criticized the regular construction work and the many bills billed under the guise of maintenance. The video went viral, drawing mixed reactions from social media users. Some agreed with her concerns, while others defended the society, pointing out that even expensive homes in other areas experience similar issues during heavy rainfall.",
