Ghaziabad: The vice-chairperson of Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) on Monday convened a meeting of seven builders from Crossings Republik, the state’s first township under Integrated Township Scheme that came up in 2007, and asked them to submit a report detailing work done by them within a week.
These developers have failed to provide basic facilities even after the compulsory ten-year period. GDA VC Krishna Karunesh has now given them a week’s time to come up with a report detailing the work carried out by them. “State’s principal secretary (housing) will take a stock of projects under the integrated township policy and before that we have asked the erring builders to come up with a report within a week. We will recommend action against them based on that,” Karunesh said.
Noida: An RWA body in the NCR has written to the Noida Authority CEO to start cleaning the drains in various sectors before the onset of monsoon. They have demanded a roster and detailed timeline of the work to be done.
Confederation of NCR Residents Welfare Associations (CONRWA) has listed over two dozen sectors in the city that require urgent attention in the matter. “In sectors 19, 27, 11, 12, 18, 20, 22, 26, 28, 33, 34, 36, 37, 55, 57, 62, 63, 65, 66, 67, 125 and others, the internal roads are filled with water every year. One of the key reasons for this is that the slope of the roads is not right. Also, the drains are clogged because they have been encroached upon,” said PS Jain, president.
