Noida authorities liberate 56,000 square meters of land from illegal colonizers

Officials estimate that the land in 12 locations across eight villages in Noida is worth ₹236.80 crore at current market rates. 

NOIDA: During its month-long battle against illegal colonizers, the Noida government released at least 56,885 square meters of land, according to officials.

The land, spread in 12 sites across eight villages, is valued at ₹236.80 crore based on current market pricing.

Lokesh M, the chief executive officer of the Noida authority, has directed the land and civil departments to work together to take effective action against those who are grabbing government land, carving out unauthorized housing or commercial projects, and luring innocent buyers by selling them cheap plots.

Our united teams conducted the drives and dismantled the unlawful constructions constructed in our notified area. "Our action against unauthorized structures will continue," the CEO stated.

The trip began on March 12 and lasted until April 13. The authority's joint teams carried out the operations in villages such as Sadarpur, Salarpur, Sorkha Jahidabad, Mamura, Gulavali, Assadullapur, Moyiyapur, and Garhi Samastipur.

There were 17 khasra numbers (land record numbers) in which the authority released the land on which the land mafia was selling residential or commercial plots without the authority's permission. According to the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Act of 1976, no person or corporation may carve out plots or develop any type of building without first getting the map approved, said a Noida authority official who was not authorized to speak with the media.

According to the guidelines, the administration has notified the land located in the villages for a planned development in Noida. Officials further stated that no individual or company may begin construction in this notified area unless the building map has been authorized and authorization to build has been granted.

Building a project without map approval or permission is prohibited. We continue to issue public announcements, urging the general public not to buy plots in these illegal enterprises since the authorities will demolish them, the source stated.

The man, who works as an assistant, lives alone in his home. He is the father of a married daughter who lives in a nearby community.
