Talk to farmers and acquire airport land fast: Noida DM to officials
Noida: District magistrate Medha Roopam reviewed land acquisition for phases 3 and 4 of the airport project in Jewar and instructed officials to address concerns of resistant farmers. Of the 1,857 hectares needed across 14 villages, participation in household surveys for drawing up a draft rehabilitation plan has been notably low in some villages — just 1% in Neemka Shahjahanpur, 20% in Khwajpur, and 50% in Thora. A section of farmers in these villages expressed concern over permanent livelihood loss and are demanding better compensation terms and water security. Roopam asked officials to engage with those who avoided the census and complete acquisition within the schedule.

Officials have been asked to ensure transparency at each stage of the acquisition process," additional DM (land acquisition) Bachhu Singh told TOI.

We are in continuous dialogue with them," Singh said. The draft rehabilitation plan, released by the district administration on July 23, said more than 17,000 families were likely to be affected directly or indirectly by the land acquisition for the airport's third and fourth phases. Most affected families are small-scale farmers or agricultural labourers, with 58% of them earning between Rs 50,000 and Rs 1 lakh annually. UP is offering Rs 4,300 per square metre in compensation for land acquired for the project in phases 3 and 4. It has also earmarked 340 hectares in villages Alavalpur, Mangaroli, Ahmedpur Chawroli and Neemka Shahjahanpur, off the Yamuna Expressway, for rehabilitating the families. Plots ranging from 50 to 500sqm are to be allocated to the villagers based on family size. The plan also specifies roads, drinking water, sewage systems, power connections, community halls, anganwadis, fair price shops, cremation grounds, and areas for cattle as part of the new settlement. 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.
