Land acquisition for Harnandipuram starts, 25 farmers get Rs 5 crore compensation
Ghaziabad: Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) started land acquisition for the Harnandipuram project. Land compensation totalling more than Rs 5 crore has been given out to around 25 farmers, so far. GDA vice chairperson Atul Vats told TOI, "Land acquisition for any project can be tricky, and for its Harnandipuram township project, GDA needs to acquire 336 hectares from five villages. The process has started, and the sale deed worth Rs 43 lakh was recently executed for 759 sqm of land in Nangla Feroze Mohan Nagar between GDA and owner Ruby, who technically became the first landowner to part with the land for the township. " In the last month, over 25 farmers have come forward and executed sale deeds worth over Rs 5 crore.

The committee headed by the DM to decide on land rates for Harnandipuram was decided, which was four times the DM circle rates as per the Land Acquisition (Rehabilitation & Resettlement) Act, 2013. However, we are also open to mutually agreed rates," Vats said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning...

The five villages selected for acquisition are Mathurapur, Shamsher, Champatnagar, Bhanera-Khurd, and Nangla Feroze Mohan Nagar. Compensation structure will vary across villages because of the difference in circle rates. Farmers in Mathurapur, where 14 hectares will be acquired, will receive Rs 4,080 per sqm against the current rate of Rs 1,020. In Shamsher, where 86 hectares are needed, farmers will get Rs 6,760 per sqm, up from the existing Rs 1,690. Champatnagar farmers, who will part with 33 hectares, will receive Rs 4,040 per sqm compared to the current Rs 1,010. For Bhanera-Khurd's 9 hectares, the compensation rate was set at Rs 4,240 per sqm, up from Rs 1,060. The largest land acquisition of 192 hectares from Nangla Feroze Mohan Nagar will be compensated at Rs 7,200 per sqm, up from the existing Rs 1,800. The state govt has allocated a budget of Rs 400 crore under the CM Urban Expansion New City Promotion Scheme for the development of the Harnandipuram township. Land acquisition will be done in phases. In the first phase, 336 hectares will be acquired from five villages. The township is planned to come up in an area of 521 hectares.

2km arm of Hindon elevated rd to link new township & capital
Ghaziabad: A 2km arm of the Hindon elevated road may connect the upcoming Harnandipuram township with Delhi at UP Gate, Delhi-Meerut Expressway and NH9. A plan still on the drawing boards, GDA officials said if the 10km elevated road is extended further towards the city forest area from the Raj Nagar Extension (RNE) roundabout to meet the outer ring road abutting villages from where land is to be acquired for the township, it could provide direct connectivity between the eastern and north-eastern parts of the city. GDA, which has already surveyed areas along RNE roundabout, estimates the road extension project to cost Rs 200 crore. Currently, Hindon elevated road spans from Rajnagar Extension to Ghazipur border. Two ramps on it allow vehicles to access the elevated road from Indirapuram and Vasundhara. "We conducted a survey to chalk out a possible route from where the elevated road could be extended towards Harnandipuram. According to the proposal, a 2km arm of the elevated stretch from the roundabout on the RNE side abutting Hindon river via city forest area will be constructed, which will be further joined with the outer ring road," GDA vice chairperson Atul Vats said.

UP is currently in talks with farmers to decide on the land rates for five villages from which 336 hectares is to be acquired for Harnandipuram township. The rates will be four times the DM circle rate as per the provisions of the Land Acquisition (Rehabilitation & Resettlement) Act 2013. Under the CM Urban Expansion New City Promotion Scheme, UP has allocated Rs 400 crore for the development of the township. As per one estimate, Rs 15,000 crore will be needed to develop Harnandipuram, and a large chunk will go into acquiring land at mutually agreed rates from the farmers. Out of this, 50% ofcost will be borne by the state govt under the CM Urban Expansion New City Promotion Scheme, with the remaining amount covered by the GDA. Meanwhile, UP Housing Board, which administers Vasundhara and Sidharth Vihar townships, has recently proposed two cloverleaf interchanges on Hindon elevated road to provide commuters from Vasundhara and Sidharth Vihar direct access to Delhi via UP Gate and RNE. A 24km road—part of it a bridge over the Hindon—is proposed from Sidharth Vihar to the elevated road to allow vehicles to travel towards UP Gate directly. A grade separator and cloverleaf interchange is to let commuters travel towards RNE carriageway of the elevated road. The board has also proposed to build a 7km link road from Vasundhara's Sector 7 to the elevated road and a cloverleaf interchange further ahead, near the Kanawni culvert, in order to allow commuters to travel to Delhi without exiting the elevated road.
