Property in Indirapuram Ghaziabad

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.

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.

Till now, only eleven states have enacted the legislation that ensures safe installation of elevators.

Although the infrastructure in Ghaziabad is evolving, the pace of development is painstakingly slow. In addition, the existing infrastructure needs to be upgraded urgently to accommodate the burgeoning needs of the growing population.

The work to expand the highway is under way, which will give a fillip to the housing sector in the area.
