Noida: More than 80% of the entire work and rehabilitation process have been already achieved in Jewar Bangar, a township being built to rehabilitate the families of the seven villages displaced by the Jewar airport project. And over 2,400 of the 3,003 affected families have already vacated their houses in these villages.
This was conveyed to senior bureaucrats by officials of the district administration at a crucial review meeting on Thursday that was ordered on the first day of the month to ensure that everything is resolved by July 15.
Officials said the villages of Nagla Ganeshi, Nagla Phoolkan and Kishorepur have been completely vacated while only a handful of families in Dayanatpur Khera are left. Being the largest village, only half the families in Rohi have moved out. Majority of people in Nagla Shareef Khan and Nagla Chitar have also shifted. Racing against time, officials have to clear up all the hurdles to pave the way for the foundation stone laying ceremony. “Shifting of the families from the seven villages was the biggest challenge. But it is being achieved smoothly,” said Balram Singh, additional district magistrate (land acquisition).
