NOIDA: Villagers of Noida seem unrelenting a day after the Supreme Court issued a notice to UP government over the petition of 94 Noida farmers from Nithari, Morna and Chaura villages accusing the Authority of misusing its powers by acquiring land in 1976 and letting it lie idle for 34 years. The farmers want denotification of the land that was allotted to Wave Infratech in March last year for the ambitious City Center project.
Noida Authority refused to comment on the implication of the order before it receives a copy of the SC notice even as work on the site is currently on. Sources said that while the Authority will submit a ?suitable reply to the court once it receives the copy of the notice. The notice by itself does not imply that work at the City Center site needs to be halted.?
?We can comment on the matter only after we deliberate on the matter with our legal officers. However, the state has never been against the farmers and anyone who has a problem can approach the Authority for redressal,? Authority officials said. The Authority also refused to comment on why the 152 acre plot was kept idle for 34 years.
Through a written statement, the executive director of Wave Infratech, R K Jain, said, ?Wave Infratech acquired the 152 acre of land in 2011 through fair competitive bidding from Noida authorities by outbidding other real estate developers with the winning bid of Rs 6,500 crore. We never purchased this land from the farmers directly, so the said issue is between the farmers and the state government.?
?The Authority did not give us a fair hearing at the time of acquiring our land. We feel cheated and we have told the court we must be given our land back,? said Dinesh Sharma of Nithari village.
Meanwhile, another group of greater Noida farmers is now protesting against another Wave Infratech project, the ?Wave Hi-tech city? that falls partly in Greater Noida and partly in Ghaziabad. These farmers are demanding compensation at par with Noida Extension villagers and have called for a mahapanchayat on Wednesday in Dujana village.
