The Noida authority has decided to purchase directly from farmers at least 500 acres of land along the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway for developing new industrial sectors. If the farmers will not give land willingly, then the authority will seek the help of Gautam Budh Nagar district administration to acquire the land under the land Act of 2013.
The officials said at least 500 acres is required to complete the basic infrastructure works in the city, including roads, parks and drainage system, etc. in sectors 145, 146, 162, and 164 falling between the Yamuna and the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway.
The Noida authority has recently allotted industrial land to corporate houses in these sectors where it needs to acquire the land. Not acquiring the land patches in these sectors will affect the planned development.
The Noida authority and the Gautam Budh Nagar administration must acquire or buy the land patches between the planned sectors as these are disrupting the construction of roads, parks and other projects. The government bodies must acquire this land at the earliest or allow planned development,” said Sunil Kumar, who has a plot in Sector 145, an area where there is interrupted development owing in non-acquisition of land.
