Delhi-Dehradun Expressway: Landowner says no compensation paid as project nears completion, raises concern on X
Mahendra Singh, a landowner, posted on X (formerly Twitter). He said that he has not received compensation for his land. His land was taken for the expressway. He raised concern that the project is ending, but payment is still pending.
This is not the only case. Other landowners are also facing similar problems. One major issue is with a 1,600-square-metre plot in Mandola village, Ghaziabad. The land belonged to the descendants of Veersen Saroha.
This case has been in court for many years. It is still under legal review. Important hearings were expected in April 2025 itself. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is facing protests and legal trouble. Many landowners want their issues solved before the project finishes.
Prior to initiating construction work on acquired land, NHAI should address the grievances of the land owners and ensure their compensation is disbursed. The compensation for my land acquired for Delhi Dehradun Green Field Expressway has not been paid, project nears completion.
This has also sparked public outcry on X, with users urging authorities including Nitin Gadkari and the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways to blacklist underperforming construction companies involved in both the Delhi-Mumbai Greenfield Expressway and the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway projects. People are now demanding accountability for these delays and lack of transparency from NHAI.
@narendramodi @PMOIndia @nitin_gadkari @OfficeOfNG @MORTHIndia Sir, please Blacklist the construction companies working on Delhi Mumbai Greenfield Expressway and Dehradun Delhi Expressway. So disgusting news @NHAI_Official why you keep mum on this matter. @FinMinIndia
Delhi-Dehradun Expressway: Legal battle over Mandola land delays opening
The dispute is about a house that was first owned by Veersen Saroha. His family has been against the land acquisition since the 1990s. In 1998, the Uttar Pradesh Housing Board offered compensation for the Mandola Housing Scheme. But Veersen Saroha refused the offer. He took the matter to court.
While most landowners accepted the payment, Saroha's family did not. They continued to fight the case. The dispute later went to the Supreme Court. Now, it has moved to the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court.

Delhi-Dehradun Expressway: Farmers protests over compensation issue
Due to less compensation offers, farmers and landowners have started protests. In Ghaziabad, they locked the office of the Uttar Pradesh Housing Board. This was done to show their anger and demand a solution.
These protests have caused more delays in the expressway project. The situation shows that the land issues need to be solved quickly. Many people are waiting for the verdict and fair compensation.
Impact of land dispute on Delhi-Dehradun Expressway construction
The Delhi-Dehradun Expressway is being built in two main parts. One part is a 14.7 km stretch from Akshardham to the Uttar Pradesh border. The other part is a 16 km stretch from Loni to Khekra. This part connects to the Eastern Peripheral Expressway.
The disputed house is in the way of an important ramp section. Because of this, final construction work is stuck. NHAI officials have said that the project can only be finished by June 2025. But this will happen only if the legal issues are solved soon.

NDA resolution hails armed forces for Op Sindoor & Mahadev, lauds Modi leadership
New Delhi, Aug 5 (UNI) The ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) today unanimously passed a resolution celebrating the success of Operation Sindoor and Operation Mahadev. "The NDA Parliamentary Party salutes the unmatched courage and unwavering commitment of our armed forces, who showed heroic valour during Operation Sindoor and Operation Mahadev. Their courage highlights their unflinching devotion to protecting our nation. We pay our deepest condolences and respect to those who lost their lives in the Pahalgam terror attack," the resolution stated. The NDA Parliamentary Party also lauded the leadership displayed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during these times. "His unwavering resolve, visionary statesmanship, and resolute command have not only steered the nation with purpose but also ignited a renewed spirit of unity and pride in the hearts of all Indians," the resolution added. Through military might and resolute leadership, justice was delivered, it said, reaffirming that "India does not forget nor forgives terror." The resolution hailed Operation Sindoor's decisive strike on Pakistan-based terror camps. The US designating The Resistance Front (TRF), responsible for the Pahalgam attack, as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation (FTO) and Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT), and the BRICS Joint Declaration condemning the Pahalgam attack while vowing to 'ensure zero tolerance for terrorism and reject double standards in countering terrorism,' reflect a diplomatic win for India and its rising clout on the global stage. PM Modi was felicitated by NDA MPs for the success of Operations Sindoor and Mahadev during the NDA Parliamentary Party meeting in the national capital. On April 22, the Pakistan-based terrorist group The Resistance Front (TRF), a proxy of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, carried out a brutal attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. The attack resulted in the cold-blooded killing of 26 innocent tourists, who were segregated and targeted based on their religion. The resolution recalled Prime Minister Modi's statement made on April 24 in Madhubani, Bihar: 'Today, from the soil of Bihar, I say to the whole world: India will identify, track, and punish every terrorist and their backers. We will pursue them to the end of the earth. India's spirit will never be broken by terrorism. Terrorism will not go unpunished. Every effort will be made to ensure that justice is done. The entire nation is firm in this resolve. Everyone who believes in humanity is with us. I thank the people of various countries and their leaders, who have stood with us in these times.' India launched 'Operation Sindoor' on the intervening night of May 6–7 in response to the Pahalgam attack. The operation involved precise and targeted strikes by the armed forces on terrorist training camps at various locations within Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. The action reflected India's zero-tolerance approach towards terrorism and reaffirmed its commitment to uproot terrorist infrastructure. The decisive action was in contrast to the situation before 2014, when terror attacks and bomb blasts were widespread across major Indian cities such as Patna, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Guwahati, Varanasi, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, and Delhi. The resolution outlined three critical principles: first, any terrorist attack on India will receive a fitting reply on India's terms; second, India will not tolerate nuclear blackmail and will strike decisively at terrorist hideouts; third, there will be no distinction between state sponsors of terrorism and its masterminds. Operation Sindoor received immense support from India's Nari Shakti, and its name holds cultural significance. The NDA Parliamentary Party hailed the operation as a just response for the mothers and daughters of India. The resolution also acknowledged the defence reforms introduced under Prime Minister Modi, which played a crucial role in Operation Sindoor's success. These included a push for indigenisation, jointness and integration of the armed forces, and a focus on drone warfare. The Prime Minister's consistent stand that the military should have a free hand to act against terrorism, at a time and place of its choosing, was also emphasized. Over the last 11 years, the NDA Government has worked tirelessly to build a Viksit Bharat — strong, developed, and peaceful. These efforts, the resolution affirmed, will continue with greater resolve in the future. After Operation Sindoor, the Prime Minister also sent a multiparty delegation comprising 59 MPs to visit 32 countries to present India's point of view on Pahalgam terror attack and highlighting how the country has been a victim of terror and why a terror attack in any one part of the world is a crime against humanity across the globe.
