Filling up this 3km gap will give Noida its second road to Jewar
To that end, the Authority has decided to link its 130-metre wide road with Yamuna Authority's 120-metre wide road.
Once ready, the link road could ease pressure on Yamuna Expressway by rerouting traffic for Greater Noida, Greater Noida West and Ghaziabad through this stretch.

Currently, the 130-metre road runs from Char Murti Chowk in Greater Noida West to Sirsa village, covering nearly 30km. However, a 3km patch is incomplete to connect the 120-metre road of Yamuna Authority, which connects to Jewar.
The road sees heavy vehicular movement daily and with the expected rise in traffic — once the airport becomes operational — the authority is also undertaking widening work along this route.
On Monday, Greater Noida Authority's additional CEO Sumit Yadav, along with other officials from the project department, carried out a site inspection of the 130-metre road.
Yadav said, "Once the two roads are connected, it is expected to ease travel for residents of Greater Noida West, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad to the greenfield airport in Jewar.

The authority also plans to construct an underpass near Sirsa village to cross the Eastern Peripheral Expressway as part of the proposed connectivity."
The proposed connection between the two roads is crucial for establishing a direct, high-capacity link to the upcoming airport.
At present, the absence of a seamless corridor forces commuters to take longer, congested routes, particularly those travelling from Greater Noida West and Ghaziabad.
With the airport expected to become a major regional transit hub, this linkage will not only reduce travel time but also support planned urban and industrial expansion along the corridor.
Abhishek Kumar, a resident of Greater Noida West, said the population of Greater Noida West has increased to about 5 lakh. "It will be a good move if the two roads are connected to provide a seamless travel experience to the airport," he said.
The link road could not be developed earlier because Greater Noida Authority had not acquired land from farmers in the area.
An official said the surrounding region has gradually developed. "We completed the 30-km stretch, but a portion remained unfinished due to pending land acquisition. Now, with the Noida International Airport nearing completion, we will soon acquire the remaining land and complete the link road," the official added.
The road is strategically important as it lies near the Eastern Peripheral Expressway and connects key areas such as residential sectors Sigma III, IV, Omicron 1A, XU III and villages like Sirsa, Dadha and Khanpur. It also serves the nearby industrial zone of Ecotech 11.
Anand Bhati, a resident of Sirsa village, said the incomplete road has made navigation difficult. "Greater Noida Authority built the 130-metre road but stopped at Sirsa roundabout, just 500 m ahead of the EPE. Likewise, Yamuna Authority's 120-metre road ends in Rampur Majra village. The 3-km stretch in between remains unmotorable," he said.

Kendrapada farmers face fertiliser shortage
1 2 Kendrapada: Farmers in the coastal district of Kendrapada are grappling with a severe shortage of fertilisers, raising concerns over potential crop failures and financial losses. Narendra Mallick, a 54-year-old farmer from Marsaghai, expressed his frustration, stating, "I am disappointed as I have not been able to get fertilisers from the registered dealers or the primary agriculture society. I have prepared my two acres of land for paddy cultivation, but the lack of fertilisers is distressing." Rabindra Behera, another farmer from Bharatpur village, echoed these concerns. "The fertiliser crisis at the beginning of the kharif season is a serious concern. Unscrupulous traders have stockpiled fertilisers, creating an artificial crisis, and the agriculture department has not made efforts to supply them on time," Behera said. The shortage has forced many farmers to purchase fertilisers at exorbitant rates from black marketeers, according to Umesh Chandra Singh, a farmers' leader and president of the district unit of krishak sabha. "We are demanding the immediate release of fertilisers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Otherwise, the paddy saplings will wither away, leading to huge losses," warned Ajaya Das, a farmer from Iswarapur village. Suresh Chandra Mallick, the chief district agriculture officer (CDAO) of Kendrapada, stated, "Around 3.6 lakh farmers in Kendrapada have raised paddy over 1.24 lakh hectares of land, requiring around 14,400 metric tonnes of fertiliser. We have received 5,120.42 metric tonnes from the govt and expect more soon. We have entrusted 121 primary agricultural cooperative societies to distribute fertilisers, and stringent action will be taken against those selling spurious fertilisers. " The early arrival of the monsoon had initially brought hope to the farmers, but the fertiliser shortage now threatens to derail the govt's plans to boost agriculture as a key development sector. "If the authorities do not act fast, paddy saplings in large areas will die," said Rajanikanta Behera, a farmer from Shyamsundarpur. Farmers' leader Ramani Ranjan Routray suggested that the agriculture department should promote the use of organic compost and vermicompost to reduce dependency on chemical fertilisers.

Noida airport's expansion likely to hit 17k families, 4.6k of them to lose land
Noida: The expansion of Noida International Airport is set to uproot more than 4,600 families and force the relocation of seven govt schools. A draft rehabilitation plan — released by the district administration on Wednesday — said more than 17,000 families were likely to be affected directly or indirectly by the acquisition of 1,857 hectares across 14 villages for the airport's third and fourth phases. According to a household survey conducted between May and June, most affected families are small-scale farmers or agricultural labourers, with 58% of them earning between Rs 50,000 and Rs 1 lakh annually. Only 4% earn more than Rs 5 lakh a year. The draft plan, prepared on the basis of the survey, said since a large part of the economy was dependent on farming and animal husbandry, the resettlement area should include the infrastructure like facilities for livestock.

Plots ranging from 50 to 500sqm will be allocated to the villagers based on family size. Roads, drinking water, sewage systems, power connections, community halls, anganwadis, fair price shops, cremation grounds, and areas for cattle will form part of the new settlement, the plan specified. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Nvidia's AI Strategy Is Clear - But Is Wall Street Paying Attention? Seeking Alpha Read More Undo The draft also introduced gender parity by recognising unmarried adult daughters as eligible claimants. Like sons in the families, they will also receive separate plots and financial assistance. For the 17,945 affected families in total, the package is likely to include a monthly subsistence allowance of Rs 3,000 for a year, Rs 50,000 as transport compensation, and an additional Rs 50,000 for SC/ST families. There will also be provisions for skill training and job preference in airport-related services for one member from each family. Discontent, however, appears to be brewing among a section of villagers. Only 1% of households in Neemka Shahjahanpur, 20% in Khwajpur, and 50% in Thora participated in the survey that preceded the draft plan, seeking better compensation and water security. Apart from households, seven govt schools will have to be relocated from Banwariwas, Kishorepur, Ramner, Neemka Shahjahanpur, Khwajpur, Thora, and Jewar Bangar. According to the plan, land will be allotted to these schools at no cost at the new site, although no compensation will be given for the land currently occupied by them. The draft plan is awaiting approval from the state govt. "Once approved, we'll publish the final scheme and formally declare the resettlement area. The collector will determine land values and calculate the compensation, including a 100% solatium as mandated," said Bacchu Singh, ADM (land acquisition).Landowners, the draft said, will receive Rs 4,300 per sqm in compensation, 40% higher than the rate in previous phases. The expansion will significantly boost the airport's capacity, adding runways, cargo zones, and maintenance areas. "This is a project of national importance," Singh added. The project, which received aviation ministry clearance in 2017, aims to be the country's largest greenfield airport. While the first two phases covering 2,699 hectares are nearing completion, the expansion will require an additional 2,053 hectares.
