India's limited-overs skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has offered his support to Amrapali residents protesting in wake of the company's failure to complete the project, saying that promises made to the people should be met, irrespective of the problems being faced by the real estate group. The first phase of project 'Sapphire', launched in 2009, at Noida Sector 45 has been completed, but civil and electrical work in many towers is yet to be done. Amidst the chaos, Dhoni received outbursts among the Amrapali residents, who took to social media asking the skipper to disassociate himself as its brand ambassador. "At times you have situation where the expectation levels are not met. It is something that keeps on happening. So we will see what can be done. We will get in touch with Amrapali people and see what exactly is happening. If you see the economy rate, it is quite tough for the builders as of now. But at the same time, whatever is promised irrespective of where they stand, I think it needs to be met," Dhoni, who is the brand ambassador of Amrapali, told the media here.
