Noida International Airport survey to begin soon

30 Aug 2021 CW Team

Stakeholders of Noida International Airport will survey the land acquired for the airport construction to finalise the boundary wall.

Yamuna International Airport, Noida International Airport and the Noida administration will soon start the survey.

The officials told the media they needed the final survey before constructing the boundary wall because last year's fencing was slightly different from the map approved for the project.

The periphery of the airport, spread over 1,334 hectares, was demarcated through May and June last year.

Nevertheless, the officials had left out a portion of agricultural fields that were still being tilled during that time while putting up the barbed wire. Likewise, they also kept a majority of the nullahs, drainage channels and borewells out of the periphery.

Balram Singh, ADM (land acquisition), told the media that the idea was to demarcate the land before a permanent boundary wall was erected and enabling the villagers to reap the harvest, but now, it is time to construct the wall. He said that a final survey is underway, and the representatives of all three stakeholders will approve it jointly.

The officials from the revenue department, including tehsildars and patwaris, will go around the villages with maps in hand and mark out the portion that should be included or excluded before the wall's construction begins as a part of the survey. According to the sources, 109 of more than 4,000 land chunks would require a revisit.
