Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath will visit Noida on March 8 to lay the foundation stone of several mega projects including a campus for US tech firm Microsoft in Sector 145, officials said.
In a major facelift attempt to make Noida as the IT hub, Adityanath is expected to inaugurate IT firm MAQ’s building in Sector 132, and IT firm Sify’s campus in Sector 132, which will spread on a five-acre plot.
The CM will also lay the foundation stone of public projects including two underpasses proposed to be built on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway and dedicate the the Ganga Water project under which the authority wants to deliver quality drinking water to residential areas along the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway, said officials.
Not only this, Adityanath may also announce some schemes for farmers on whose land Noida has been built.
The Noida authority has completed the survey of at least ten villages where the peripheral road will be built and issues related with the abadi (residential areas) are being resolved in planned manner according to rules, said officials.
The farmers have been demanding better compensation and a rehabilitation package for their land. To appease them, Adityanath has directed the Noida authority to address their genuine issues without further delay. So, the authority has roped in a private agency, which is visiting villages along with staff of the land department to carry out the survey so that the abadi related issues can be resolved, said officials. The state government is likely to review the issues, and the land department is preparing data for the chief minister’s review, said officials.
Currently, the total water demand in Noida is 332 million litres per day (MLD). The authority is supplying 240 MLD of water from the Ganga to residents and the rest is procured through groundwater resources.
The authority supplies water to more than 130 residential areas and aims to provide Ganga water to the remaining 50 residential areas once it starts getting more of it by the end of 2024.
