Flats for rent in Ghaziabad

The Delhi Metro is constructing a Metro line in Ghaziabad that would connect New Bus Stand with Kashmere Gate ISBT, Rohini via Dilshad Garden. The metro line is expected to get operational by September 2018. The new Metro line will pass through the Sahibabad Industrial Area and will significantly impact the residential areas lying in proximity where the infrastructure is poor.

In a major demolition drive by the Ghaziabad Development Authority, 25 acre of land along the floodplain has been freed. The land on which these construction activities had been going on is designated as floodplains in the GDA Master Plan 2021. No construction activity is permitted in this area. The total value of the land, say officials, could be between Rs 70-75 crore.

Real estate developers who have not been able to deliver their residential projects in Ghaziabad are staring at touch action. On April 23, Uttar Pradesh Urban Development Minister Suresh Khanna said that legal action would be taken against builders who had failed to deliver while stating that the state government was committed to guard the interest of homebuyers. Khanna is a part of a three-member team that was appointed by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath last year to resolve the issues of homebuyers in the twin cities of Noida and Ghaziabad.

Noida and Ghaziabad crossed the 300 mark as particulate matter-10 (PM10) levels touched a high on March 28. The situation was likely to prevail in the days to come, said experts.  According to another report by the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board, six cities in India’s most populous state have nearly four times the PM10 level against the permissible limit. In this list of 24 cities where an air quality check was conducted in February, Ghaziabad leads this pack while Lucknow and Kanpur are listed at the second and third place, respectively.  Noida occupies the fourth place.

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.
