NOIDA-GHAZIABAD: Fortis and Felix hospitals in Noida have tied up with over half a dozen sector RWAs and high rises including Cherry County, Cleo Coun.
Noida: Highrises in sectors 76, 119, 120, including Prateek Wisteria, Gaur Grandeur, Prateek Laurel, and places like Arun Vihar (sectors 28, 29 and 37) have been reporting between 40 and 90 cases each for the past few days.
Residents have demanded that the places be sanitised and testing camps be held in areas with more cases. The Jan Shakti Sewa Samiti, a residents’ body, has written to UP CM Yogi Adityanath requesting that all hospitals in Gautam Budh Nagar be brought directly under the district administration for better monitoring of the situation. They have also suggested that community centres and clubs be used as testing facilities and for other related work.
Noida: More than a year ago, the Noida Authority had started a campaign to segregate waste at doorsteps.
While most sectors and condominiums have inculcated the habit of sorting out waste before they are collected, the Authority is faced with a challenge to make the urban villages fall in line despite months of awareness drives and threats to impose fines on those found littering the roads.
The Authority had taken a tough stand while launching the campaign last year. It had refused to collect waste from households that did not segregate them. While around 50 housing societies and sectors in the city complied, garbage started lining the roads in villages on the outskirts of Noida. As villagers refused to sort out waste, the Authority was forced to resort to its earlier practice of collecting unsegregated trash.
