Amrapali Chairman and Managing Director Anil Sharma immediately reacted saying the players would be given the villas as promised by the company and the project is in final stage.
Dhoni resigned as brand ambassador of Amrapali on Friday, days after the unhappy residents of a housing project in Noida launched a social media campaign asking the cricketer to dis-associate himself from the builder. Coming out in support of Dhoni, Harbhajan Singh tweeted:
Well done @msdhoni for dropping #Amarpali builders s brand ambassadorship..they didn't gave us VILLAS they announce after 2011 worldcup win

Reacting to Harbhajan's complaints on social media, Amrapali CMD said: "We offered these villas to World Cup winning team as to honour their efforts, for that we did not charge anything. Amrapali Group never denied to handover those villas, nor now."
"In this duration, cricketers or their representatives did not ask about the status of their villas and also there were some relevant process and formalities need to be done from their end.
"Whenever they will ask us, we will share the required details of their villas with them. I would also like to clarify that the project is in final stage where villas were promised," Sharma said in a statement.
The complaints from the residents of Amrapali's Saphhire project in Noida had gone viral on Twitter after they tagged Dhoni in their tweets asking the cricketer to dis-associate himself from the builder.
Residents are complaining about the pending civil and electrical works in the project. The company said it would complete the same in next three months.
