Farmers to be rehabilitated for Noida airport project seek clear plan

12 Oct 2021 CW Team

Farmers who are to be rehabilitated for the second phase of the Noida airport have sought a clear plan for the rehabilitation process and other benefits for the land losers from the administration.

According to a social impact assessment (SIA) report by Gautam Buddha University, it has been deferred because the administration needed more details. The centre has also appointed a committee of seven multi-disciplinary experts to review the SIA report.

A retired engineer from the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) and a resident of Ranhera, Kunwar Pal Singh, told the media that about 3,800-4,000 families are to be displaced for the second phase of the airport project. The villages where lands are acquired include Karauli Bangar, Dayanatpur, Ranhera, Kureb, Mundhera and Berampur. Out of the six, most of the land area is to be acquired from Ranchera, which also has the maximum population.

The villagers have objected to the rehabilitation in the first phase. They told the media that the youths who were promised job opportunities in the Noida International Airport Limited (NIAL) are yet to get training or employment letters.

Singh said that the administration saw what happened to the 3,000 families during the first phase. The administration has given them bare-minimum benefits, and he expects it to be better in the second phase, said Singh.

Another resident said they have no objection to giving away the agricultural land but moving out of their villages is not simple. The Jewar Bangar township is not suitable for rural or urban settlements.

Additional district magistrate Balram Singh said that they would look into the villagers' concerns. Efforts are ongoing to augment the resources of Jewar Bangar township. The road widening and infrastructure works demanded by the villagers are being discussed.
