In a significant development, the Noida Authority undertook a resolute anti-encroachment operation, demolishing no less than 50 illegal farmhouses nestled on the ecologically sensitive Yamuna floodplains in Sector 151. This marked the Authority's inaugural anti-encroachment drive after the region bore the brunt of devastating floods earlier this year.
These unlawful farmhouses, sprawling across several acres of land, were marred by the construction of concrete structures and the unregulated operation of commercial activities by their proprietors. The urgency of this action became evident after the Yamuna River overflowed its banks due to heavy rains in July, causing the inundation of farmhouses and colonies situated along its course. This dire situation necessitated a four-day rescue operation, a collaborative effort between the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), local police, district administration, and the Noida Authority, to evacuate the residents and their livestock.
Coordinated planning between the Noida Authority, the district administration, and the irrigation department ensured a well-structured approach once the floodwaters receded. Aerial surveys, conducted by various agencies, further solidified the case for demolishing these illegal structures.
Heading the demolition drive, senior manager KV Singh conveyed the Authority's commitment to launching an extensive campaign aimed at razing illegal farmhouses in the days to come. Furthermore, a stern warning was issued, highlighting the legal ramifications that owners would face if they attempted any further construction on these floodplains.
It's imperative to underscore that permanent structures of any kind are strictly prohibited on these ecologically fragile floodplains. Nevertheless, over 1,000 illegal farmhouses have mushroomed along the Yamuna's banks, prompting the Noida Authority to take similar actions in the past year, demolishing more than 200 illegal farmhouses.
These unauthorized farmhouses have not only violated construction norms but have also been found to host dog breeding centres, cow shelters, and stables. In addition to these facilities, permanent structures such as swimming pools and clubhouses have sprouted on these premises, often being used for extravagant parties.
The Noida Authority's unwavering commitment to preserving these floodplains and enforcing the law against illegal encroachments reflects its dedication to environmental conservation and disaster preparedness in the face of climate-related challenges.
