The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has announced plans to allocate developed residential plots to 615 farmers from seven villages within a month. This follows a review of farmers’ demands and the implementation of recommendations made by a government-appointed panel.
In February, a three-member panel, chaired by the chairman of the revenue council and including the Meerut commissioner and the GB Nagar district magistrate, was formed to address the concerns of local farmers. The committee’s report has since been submitted, prompting GNIDA to take action. As part of the ongoing efforts, GNIDA CEO NG Ravi Kumar confirmed that the process of plot allocation has been expedited, with residential plots set to be handed over to farmers within the next month. The government has also given directives for improved coordination between the police, administration, and the Authority. Farmers have been advocating for developed plots and increased compensation, leading to protests over the past two weeks. In response, GNIDA is organising camps starting December 14 to assess the eligibility of 3,532 additional farmers across 62 villages, with the first camps taking place in Sirajpur and Kailashpur.
