Villages near Noida get notified by state govt for satellite city

Instead of the 80 villages already notified by the state government, a satellite city on Noida's outskirts must be developed over 86 villages. Five of the 80 villages, however, may have to be denotified because they are not homogeneously connected to the land that will need to be developed, and 11 more villages will have to be notified.

These are the preliminary findings of a survey conducted by the School of Planning and Architecture (SPA).

The UP government notified these 80 villages in January this year, 20 of which are in Dadri and the rest in the neighbouring Bulandshahr district. In July, the authority assigned SPA the task of preparing the satellite township's master plan and ordered a land survey.

According to officials from the authority's planning division, the first step in the process was to superimpose the village map over the revenue map to determine the exact location.

SPA recently completed its gathering of in-situ data from the site and compared it to reference data (ground-truthing) and reported its findings.

The project's planning team discovered that five villages that had been notified by the government had been cut off from the rest, making it difficult to include them in the overall planning of the new town.

An official said that in nature, the land is not homogeneous and the continuity is broken. During the planning process, it will be difficult to combine them.

The authorities requested that SPA prepare a detailed report on the situation, which would then be forwarded to the state government for action. As a result, while five villages are likely to be denotified, the remaining 11 are likely to be notified as part of the Noida Authority for future development.

The reason for the move, according to an authorized official, is that NH-91 or NH 34 as per new nomenclature and the Eastern Peripheral Expressway are coming in between and separating the five villages from the homogeneous cluster. The Authority has been tasked with developing a greenfield satellite industrial township covering a total of 20,900 hectares of land.

Uttarakhand HC Lifts 31-Year Ban on ONGC’s Contractual Hiring

The Uttarakhand High Court has lifted a 31-year-old ban on the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) from hiring contractual workers, a restriction imposed in 1993.
