Ghaziabad To Finalise New Circle Rates After Farmer Objections; Property Prices Likely To Rise 15-40%

The deadline for filing objections to the proposed list of new circle rates for land in Ghaziabad district has now passed, and the process of resolving the objections has begun. Following this, a revised list of circle rates will be published. The proposal includes an increase of 15 to 40 per cent in property rates across the district, which could make buying land and homes more expensive.

During the objection period, farmers raised concerns that the proposed rates for their land were too low. Residents from seven villages linked to the Harnandipuram Project filed objections, particularly from areas surrounding NH-9 and the Eastern Peripheral Expressway, requesting further increases in circle rates. AIG (Stamps) Pushpendra Kumar said the objections would be resolved soon, after which, with the approval of the District Magistrate, the new circle rates will be published this month.
