NOIDA: The Noida Authority on Thursday finalized a list of five development projects that are linked directly to the daily needs of the common man to be sent to the Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav for approval. This step was taken after the CM defined infrastructure as his top priority in a communique to the district officials.
Authority officials said that the projects that have found their way into the 'priority' list are those that are important for an overall development of issues that affect the day-to-day lives of people of Noida, including connectivity of roads, public transport, sanitation and horticulture.
Detailing the five projects, the Authority officials informed that, of the projects incorporated in the list, the one that takes precedence is the extension of the existing Metro rail to make more areas of the district. "We have already received the DPR for an extension route from sector 32A to sector 62 and the Kalindi Kunj-Botanical Garden route is also in the final stages," said an official.
"With the new government keen on ensuring better connectivity across the district, we have proposed more extension routes including connecting it to each sector and also taking the Metro along the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway towards Greater Noida," he added.
A new bridge over the Yamuna for better Noida-Delhi connectivity is next on the list of projects. An additional four lanes to the existing ones are required to make it effective. "A new bridge at the Okhla Barrage near Kalindi Kunj would help in decongesting the traffic along the road, which connects to New Delhi and Faridabad," an official said.
According to the list, other projects that Noida will soon boast of include the Ganga Water Action Plan to bring clean water to the area from the Dasna-Ghaziabad pipelines, an extensive greening plan with a huge park in sector 91 and a strategy to decongest the NH-24 making it into a signal-free route.
"The NH-24 link touches Noida, Ghaziabad and takes commuters to Delhi. We have proposed that this stretch be widened without delay besides constructing flyovers and underpasses along the highway to rid the road of its traffic chaos," said the Authority officer.
"We have finalized and completed the report after convening with our planning and other department heads. On Friday, we will forward this report to the CM's office," said an official. According to the Authority, once they receive a formal nod from the CM, the projects will be flagged off.
"The evaluation and feasibility will be worked out and the projects will take off as soon as we receive the go-ahead," said the official.
