2 BHK Properties for Sale in Vaishali Ghaziabad

Those planning to buy a flat or a plot close to the Metro corridor being built in Ghaziabad might have to pay a cess. The Uttar Pradesh Housing Board is mulling the idea of levying this cess to raise funds for the Ghaziabad Metro project, a part of the Phase-III of Delhi Metro’s extension.

Rates of property in Ghaziabad are likely to go slightly up with the city development authority hiking development charges. The 3.03 per cent increase in the fee comes into effect from April 1 this year. Before the hike came into effect, developers had to pay Rs 3,024 per square metre (psm) as development charge. They will now be paying Rs 3,114 psm.

According to Housing Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, the Delhi Metro will not offer overnight services since that time is used for the maintenance of trains.

The Ghaziabad Development Authority is now set to take strict action against those who encroach or park on the roadside and violate air pollution norms set by the National Green Tribunal. The authority has raised the fine levied for such violations. The tow-away charges will go up to Rs 2,500 for heavy vehicles, Rs 2,000 for medium commercial vehicles and Rs 1,000 for light motor vehicles. The fine for encroachment on open spaces has been raised to Rs 50,000 per instance.

Covering 9.41 km, this Red Line extension will have eight stations — Shaheed Nagar, Raj Bagh, Rajendra Nagar, Shyam Park, Mohan Nagar, Arthala, River Hindon and New bus stand.
