For real-time tracking and pollution control, STPs to go online in Greater Noida
Noida: Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has begun integrating all sewage treatment plants (STPs) with an online monitoring system. Part of the broader Namami Gange Project, it aims to equip STPs across the state with real-time monitoring for efficiency and pollution control. These facilities recycle wastewater for irrigation in nearby green zones. The estimated cost of installing the online monitoring mechanism at each STP is approximately Rs 30 lakh. Apart from GNIDA officials, the system will also be monitored by the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board and authorities associated with the Namami Gange Project. The city currently has four operational STPs with a total treatment capacity of 172 million litres per day (MLD), but 109 MLD of sewage is treated daily. The sewer department has begun installing monitoring systems at the STP in Badalpur. Additional CEO Prerna Singh, GNIDA, said the system will now be expanded to other plants, including those in Ecotech Sectors 2 and 3."The installation at these two facilities is expected to be completed within the next two weeks. The largest of the four existing STPs, the 137 MLD plant in Kasna, is slated to get the system within a month," she said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo You Can Also Check: Noida AQI | Weather in Noida | Bank Holidays in Noida | Public Holidays in Noida The estimated cost of installing the online monitoring mechanism at each STP is approximately Rs 30 lakh. Senior manager Vinod Sharma said that once the system is in place, it can be simultaneously connected to six devices, and it will enable officials to monitor STP operations remotely from their offices. "The system allows tracking of critical water quality indicators such as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) levels before and after sewage treatment," he said.

Why new liquor vendors in Noida are opting for container-based setups
Liquor vendors in Noida are increasingly choosing container-based outlets to navigate zoning bottlenecks, steep rents, and real estate constraints, after a policy shift in Uttar Pradesh formally permitted prefabricated setups. According to a report in The Times of India, the first such outlet in Noida was opened in Delta 1 sector this April. Housed in a 40x12-foot prefabricated container, the store marks a departure from traditional liquor vends and aligns with Clause 5.16 (17) of the UP Excise Shops Number and Location (Amended) Rules, 1968, which were updated earlier this year. The revised rules allow vendors to set up shops in prefabricated structures on both government and private land—provided local zoning and distance norms are met. The framework draws on models already implemented in Haryana and Punjab, and is aimed at plugging tax leakages while offering logistical flexibility to licensees. 'Legalisation of informal practices already in place' District excise officer Subodh Kumar said the policy was shaped by the informal use of temporary structures by vendors in recent years. 'This brings such setups under legal oversight and helps ensure proper tax collection. Haryana had already implemented this, and UP is now doing the same,' The Times of India quoted him as saying. In Gautam Budh Nagar district, 16 of the 501 new liquor licences issued this year have reportedly opted for container setups—12 in Noida and four in Greater Noida. Land shortages, zoning hurdles drive shift Though the policy has opened up a legal route for container-based shops, its implementation has not been smooth. Licensees say it is difficult to find commercial land that meets excise norms, especially the requirement of staying 50 metres away from residential areas. 'There's not enough compliant commercial land in Noida,' said a vendor who previously operated in Lucknow. 'I offered to pay rent to Noida Authority, but there was no response. Eventually, I rented a farmhouse for ₹75,000 a month just to get started.' District urges land allocation for compliant setups The district magistrate has reportedly written to the Noida and Greater Noida Authorities requesting land parcels suitable for container shops. However, excise officials said that no formal response has been received yet, though informal talks are underway. Greater Noida Authority additional CEO Prerna Singh confirmed that the matter may be taken up in the next board meeting. 'These shops could be a controlled, high-revenue model. We are considering incorporating container-based formats into our bylaws,' she said. Public resistance and enforcement action Despite the regulatory backing, some container shops have met local resistance. Earlier this week, the Noida Authority dismantled one such outlet in Sector 129 after complaints from nearby residents. Vendors argue that the container model provides a way to comply with government norms while overcoming urban constraints. 'We're not looking to break rules—we want to do business legally. But the system needs to support that,' said a licensee. Excise officials maintain that regulated outlets are vital to state finances. 'For every ₹1 lakh in liquor sales, ₹70,000 is state revenue,' a department official said, reported The Times of India.

GNIDA switches to e-office to process files faster
Noida: The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has gone paperless with the rollout of the e-office system, to enhance digital governance and faster public service delivery. The platform, developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC), allows officials to process, approve, and track files online from anywhere within Uttar Pradesh. GNIDA CEO NG Ravi Kumar has directed all departments to operate exclusively through the e-office framework. The transition aligns with state government directives mandating e-office adoption across departments. It is expected to reduce bureaucratic delays and enhance investor confidence, especially as it integrates seamlessly with the Nivesh Mitra portal, UP's single-window clearance system for business approvals. All online applications, including those via Nivesh Mitra, will now be handled digitally. This will streamline processes for licences, NOCs, and other approvals. Over 55,000 physical files have been scanned and digitised to create a searchable repository. To facilitate the shift, around 160 GNIDA employees have been equipped with email IDs and digital signatures. Additional CEO Prerna Singh said the e-office system ensures files are processed within a set timeframe. "It offers real-time status tracking, which boosts transparency, accountability, and convenience for citizens," she said. The initiative is being implemented statewide under the guidance of the Uttar Pradesh Electronics Corporation Limited (UPECL).

Water reservoir cleaning drive in full swing in Gr Noida; to wrap up by July 6
The district administration is undertaking a comprehensive cleaning of all underground water reservoirs amid rising concerns over water quality and related health risks in Greater Noida, officials said on Friday. Of the city's 19 reservoirs, 14 have been cleaned so far, and the remaining five will be covered by July 6, according to a schedule issued by the water department. 'The cleaning of underground reservoirs is being carried out as per the pre-decided schedule. Water department officials have been instructed to ensure that the work is completed on time without compromising on hygiene standards,' said Prerna Singh, additional chief executive officer (ACEO), after inspecting progress on Thursday. To minimise disruption during cleaning, the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has released a detailed sector-wise schedule and arranged for water supply through tankers where needed. Cleaning at Sector MU-1 EWS Society is ongoing from June 13 to 15. Sectors 36 and 37 will follow from June 17 to 19; Gamma I, Gamma II, Beta I, and Beta II from June 22 to 24; Alpha I and II from June 26 to 28; Delta I, II, and III from June 30 to July 2; and the Sports Complex between July 4 and 6. Residents have been informed in advance about low water pressure, and helplines (7983604110, 9811839456, 9873763995, 9899331572, 9654302913, 8130504019, 8377911380, 9871090100) are active for tanker requests. 'The cleaning schedule has also been uploaded to the authority's official website for public access,' added Singh. Sandeep Mehta, a resident of Gamma II, said, 'We have had complaints earlier of foul-smelling tap water during summers. This cleaning drive is reassuring.' However, Rajeev Thakur of Delta added, 'Advance intimation and better timing could have helped. Many residents are unaware of the tanker facility.' In parallel, GNIDA has launched a citywide overhead water tank cleaning drive. Starting in early June with Sigma IV, this phase-wise effort will run until July 10, covering Chi, Omega, Knowledge Park, Gamma, and other zones. Officials clarified that while underground reservoir cleaning is routine, overhead tanks—which directly serve households—are being cleaned systematically for the first time this year.
