Noida to cancel plot allotments if illegal constructions persist
NOIDA, Aug. 11 -- The Noida authority has decided to cancel the allotment of plots whose owners have failed to remove unauthorised constructions despite repeated warnings and reminders, officials said on Sunday. The decision was taken on Friday by the authority's chief executive officer (CEO) Lokesh M during a review meeting.
All departments have been instructed to compile and maintain records of notices issued under Section 10 for encroachments in buildings across Noida and to monitor compliance regularly, they said. If a Section 10 notice is issued against a property, the owner cannot sell it until the notice is removed. It also means the owner has violated the lease deed terms and will face consequences, including cancellation of allotment, penalty, and ineligibility for mortgage or bank loans.
The authority's additional chief executive officer has been asked to examine notices issued in the past two years and, where allottees have not complied, to reissue the Section 10 notice.
"If non-compliance continues, the allotment of the said plots will be cancelled. We have also directed that in cases where the allottee does not receive notices, they must be physically pasted on the concerned property to ensure communication," the CEO said.
Officials said the crackdown follows widespread violations, ranging from extended balconies and unauthorised rooms to boundary walls built over authority land. Asset departments have been told to collect and maintain details of notices issued for encroachments in residential, industrial, institutional, and commercial properties. Notices are sent via e-mail and pasted outside the property, and if ignored, reminders are issued before demolition is initiated.
The CEO also ordered completion of the Bhangel Elevated Road, drainage works, smooth approach roads, and rainwater harvesting by next week. The meeting addressed delays in road construction caused by unauthorised land occupation in various sectors, with officials directed to coordinate between land and civil departments to expedite works.
Other issues discussed included cleanliness, waterlogging, and stray cattle management. Officials were told to remove stray cows and bulls from roads and move them to shelters. Waterlogging hotspots were reviewed, with improper culvert cleaning and uneven drain levels identified as the main causes.
Senior managers were told to take immediate corrective action, and the Public Health Department was directed to clean all culverts to prevent future flooding....
