11 Aug 2023 CW Team

In a bid to enhance urban infrastructure, the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) is set to identify land for crematoriums and expand the Ganga water pipeline. These initiatives aim to cater to the growing needs of the city while respecting cultural and environmental aspects.

Amidst the rapid urban expansion in Greater Noida, the GNIDA recognises the pressing need for essential amenities. To address the community's religious and cultural requirements, the authority is working on identifying suitable land for crematoriums. This effort not only ensures dignified last rites but also acknowledges the diverse fabric of the city's population. Simultaneously, the GNIDA is taking steps to expand the Ganga water pipeline network. This move comes as a response to the rising demand for clean water sources and improved distribution systems. By extending the pipeline's reach, the authority aims to provide a more reliable and sustainable water supply to residents, thus supporting the city's continued growth. These endeavours by the GNIDA underline their commitment to holistic urban development. By focusing on both cultural and infrastructural needs, the authority strives to create a city that is well-equipped for the present and future.
