GNIDA regulations prompt removal of temple erected in Gaur City 2 society parking lot

A temple that was erected within the parking lot of the Gaur City 2 society suddenly vanished following objections raised by the residents. In response, an alternative location adjacent to the society park was designated for the temple. To facilitate the construction of the temple on the premises, the society residents who owned the parking lot had to provide a no-objection certificate (NOC). However, due to complaints from residents who owned the parking lot, the maintenance team was compelled to dismantle the temple from its initial location. A new site for the temple was chosen after obtaining the necessary NOC from the parking lot owners.

The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA), responsible for overseeing the comprehensive development of Greater Noida City, adheres to regulations stipulating that parking lots should exclusively serve their purpose for parking, without any construction atop them. Any construction within the society premises requires GNIDA approval. Despite a temple being constructed on August 1st within the parking lot, it faced opposition from society residents due to the designated purpose of the parking lots. Consequently, the maintenance team dismantled the temple.

Certain residents expressed a desire for the temple to be constructed within the society premises for prayer purposes. Subsequent to a collaborative meeting involving GNIDA officials, police, builder representatives, flat owners, and residents, an appropriate alternative site near the society park was identified for the temple's construction. The residents provided a no-objection certificate to enable the temple's construction within the society premises. GNIDA approval would be granted upon the submission of no-objection certificates from two-thirds of the flat owners.

Considering the presence of service and sewer lines running across the society, it's imperative that the temple's location avoids interference with these utilities. Hence, a suitable area near the society park was selected for the temple's construction. Upon receiving the necessary no-objection nod from the flat owners, the temple would be erected with GNIDA's approval.

Within Gaur City 1 and 2, builders had previously constructed two temples for residents to engage in prayer. Modifying a sanctioned layout requires GNIDA's prior approval, as any construction not conforming to the approved plan necessitates official endorsement. Building structures in parking lots owned by flat owners, which could inconvenience them, is against regulations. Thus, builders must seek authority approval before introducing any structure not accounted for in the society's approved layout.
