Greater Noida: Civic, horticulture and power infrastucture issues, along with lack of facilities like community centres, were raised by the residents of Sector Delta 2 and Swarn Nagri during a meeting with the general manager of Greater Noida authority on Thursday.
While unkempt parks with broken boundary walls, swings and benches and defunct streetlights were some of the issues raised by Delta 2 residents, in Swarn Nagri, the demand was for a community centre.
The area has more than 600 families.“We met the general manager of GNIDA (Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority) and told him about the problems we face.
The area has untended bushes and shrubs along the internal roads.
As a result, snakes and scorpions are seen often,” said Alok Nagar, the residents’ welfare association president, Delta 2, Greater Noida.Nagar added that the internal roads in the sector are in a bad shape and need repair.
“The condition of the green belts is very bad.
Most lights in the parks and along the sector roads do not work while benches and swings in the parks are broken,” he said.Nagar also pointed out that fumigation has not been carried out for a long time.
“Garbage is not picked up regularly and roads are not cleaned,” he said.Swarn Nagri RWA president Rajesh Bhati has written to the CEO of GNIDA requesting for a dairy booth and a community centre in the sector.
“It has been almost 23 years, but we still do not have a dairy kiosk or a community centre.
Residents have to go to neighbouring sectors like Alpha 1 and 2 for such facilities,” he said.A nursery in D Block is infested with snakes and insects, he added.
“We have complained about this many times but the officials have not paid any attention,” said Bhati, adding that while the Sector has 1,200 plots, currently around 600 families stay in the area.Meanwhile, Harinder Bhati, resident of Sector Beta 1 complained about clogged drains and sewers and untended garbage.
“The drains near Tughalpur area are not cleaned.
The E Block park also needs cleaning,” he added.AK Arora, the general manager, GNIDA, assured the residents that the officials will address these issues within a week.
