NOIDA: Even though Noida Authority on Thursday cleared nearly 90 acres of encroached land from three major sectors in Noida, they have failed to take action against land mafia who have encroached upon at least 100 acres of green belt at a prime location near Sector 74 where thousands of housing units are being developed. Authority officials had claimed that they would soon raze the encroachments, but so far no action has been taken.
The Noida Authority on Thursday had flattened nearly 90 acres of encroached government land valued at about Rs 10,000 crore from three major sectors in Noida, but it appears officials are less bothered about the green belt in the city. A TOI team had recently visited Sector 74 and found that the green belt was heavily encroached on. Even construction work was being undertaken on some of the plots. When the issue was raised before the Noida Authority OSD Manoj Rai, he had said that a team would be sent to conduct a probe and demolish illegal construction, but to no avail.
Nearly five years back, residential plots were allotted in various areas, including Sectors 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118 and 119 to various developers. Thousands of housing units are being constructed in these sectors now. With the development of this region, the cost of land in this area has gone up. Taking into consideration the realty market, land mafias encroached on the green belt and started trapping innocent people by selling them illegal plots at nominal costs.
The illegal colonizers have been taking advantage of the land row that has been going on in Greater Noida for quite some time. The land mafia has been selling land at Rs 15,000 per square yard after illegally cutting plots on green belts. ?The government should take immediate action on such encroachment, otherwise the areas will turn into illegal slums. There should be a separate department to look upon such acts,? said Amit Gupta, Assocham member.
?The Authority comes into action only after innocent people are cheated. We suspect that some local leaders are also involved in the encroachment. The role of government agencies and the police must be put under the scanner,? alleged a farmer.
When TOI tried to get talk to Noida Authority CEO Sanjeev Saran and OSD Manoj Rai, they refused to comment on the issue.
