114 Structures Classified "Unsafe" from Past Four Years and Yet Noida Authority has no Significant Move

With the crash of Chintels Paradiso of Gurugram's demand for more inspections of high-rise buildings, Noida Police decided to demolish 114 buildings declared "unsafe" from the past four years and should have been removed "from the fly" immediately.

In July 2018, nine people died when two buildings collapsed in the village of Shahberi in Dadri - one new and another under construction. Following this, the office conducted an investigation of demolished buildings in the city in four categories and found 1,757 buildings in which it was not safe to live or build illegally. 

Although 114 buildings were marked for "immediate" demolition, little progress has been made in the last four years after initial crackdowns on some. According to the research report, 56 old buildings, 114 advertising sites, and 261 sites have been identified.

Albeit a few structures were wrecked in Garhi Chaukhandi as a feature of the crackdown, many actually stand tall and have "perilous" composed on the dividers in red. 

The crackdown, nonetheless, was fleeting and lost steam in half a month. In the past four years, numerous authorities have been moved and the people who have supplanted them have little sign regarding it.

The reporter spoke to our chief executive through police, including staff from the planning department who were part of the 2018 investigation, but no one can comment on the "dangerous" demolition of illegal buildings. Managing Director (Planning) Ishtiyaq Ahmed said, “I was heavily involved in Shahberi after the two camera mishaps. Not much information about the research we did at the time. "

A visit to the villages of Garhi Chaukhandi, Harola and Nithari revealed that the building was under construction, uncertain. Residents of old houses on narrow streets (some as high as 67 stories) refused to speak to the media for fear of police intervention.

Harold resident Ritesh Kumar told TOI. They have been able to build houses here for many years, but have nothing to do. Now hundreds of people will be forced to leave, or if the house is closed, they will be on the sidelines. "

In the case of illegal buildings - higher than three stories - the office must check whether or not they were built on the designated site. This process is not yet complete.
