Officials cautioned the public against investing in unauthorised colonies and advised verifying details with GNIDA before purchasing land in Greater Noida to avoid legal issues and unplanned development.
The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) took decisive action against illegal encroachments and unauthorised construction activities in Tusyana village. Acting on the directives of GNIDA CEO NG Ravi Kumar, the authority deployed bulldozers to demolish illegal structures and reclaimed approximately 75,000 square metres of land, which has an estimated market value of INR 150 crore. According to an official statement, the demolition drives targeted ongoing illegal constructions on plots numbered 517, 964, 981, 985, 995, and 1,007 in Tusyana village.
Local colonists were attempting to develop an unauthorised colony on the encroached land, which the GNIDA team successfully cleared and reclaimed. The demolition operation was spearheaded by the Work Circle Three team, led by in-charge Narottam Chaudhary. The authority calculated the value of the reclaimed land at around INR 150 crore, considering the current rate of INR 20,000 per square metre in the area. Himanshu Verma, the general manager and OSD of the project department, issued a stern warning against land-grabbing in notified areas. He instructed all work circle in-charges of the project department to maintain strict vigilance in their respective areas and take immediate action upon receiving any information about encroachments.
Additional CEO Annapurna Garg cautioned the public against investing their hard-earned money in plots within illegal colonies. She advised anyone who has purchased a plot in an unauthorised colony to file a complaint with the police, along with the registry document, and provide a copy to the authority to initiate legal action against such colonisers. Garg emphasised the importance of contacting the GNIDA to verify details before purchasing any land in Greater Noida.
The authority is a statutory body under the Uttar Pradesh government, tasked with the planned development of Greater Noida, a city in the Gautam Buddh Nagar district. The demolition drive underscores the GNIDA's commitment to curbing unauthorised construction activities and maintaining the integrity of the planned development in the region. By reclaiming the encroached land, the authority has sent a strong message against land grabbing and illegal colonisation. The incident also serves as a reminder to the public to exercise caution and due diligence when purchasing land or properties. Investing in unauthorised colonies not only carries legal risks but also contributes to the proliferation of unplanned development, which can have adverse consequences for the region's infrastructure and overall growth.
