Greater Noida: Yamuna Authority To Repair 25 Dilapidated Roads In THESE Areas Ending Commuters' Woes

The Yamuna Authority has approved the repair of 25 roads previously managed by the Public Works Department (PWD) and the Rural Engineering Department, which have now fallen under its jurisdiction. These roads, which were neglected after the departments withdrew from maintenance, have become dilapidated, causing significant inconvenience to thousands of villagers.

With the roads no longer under the ownership of the departments, the authority has stepped in to address the issue. In addition to road repairs, the authority has also given the green light for the construction of peripheral roads in three villages and a population survey across seven villages.

Sectors 16, 17, 18, 20, 28, 29, 32, and 33 of the Yamuna Authority include 17 roads managed by the Public Works Department and 8 by the Rural Engineering Department. While both departments ceased maintenance in the authority's jurisdiction, the roads were never officially transferred, causing the authority to refrain from assuming responsibility for repairs.

Due to the worsening condition of roads, residents of several villages, including Salaparpur, Mohbalipur, Dayorar, Dayanatpur, Muqeempur Siwara, Nangla Hukum Singh, Banbariwas, and Mirzapur, have been facing significant difficulties. In response, the Authority Board has approved the repair of these roads, and YEIDA will oversee the work.

The Public Works Department's roads span a total length of 32.17 km, with an allocation of Rs 26.21 crore for repairs. Meanwhile, the Rural Engineering Department’s roads, covering 31.82 km, will be repaired at a cost of Rs 14.52 crore.

Peripheral Roads Approved for Villages

The Authority Board has approved the construction of a peripheral road for the villages of Akalpur, Myana, and Maksudpur. To address the population dispute with farmers, the government instructed a population survey of these villages and the development of a peripheral road.

Additionally, permission has been granted to conduct surveys for the construction of peripheral roads in seven more villages. The CEO announced that vacant land in populated areas would be developed for essential community facilities, including schools, libraries, hospitals, colleges, marriage halls, crematoriums, and graveyards.
