Today farmers from different villages of Greater Noida gathered in large number and protested in front of Greater Noida Authority office. They raised slogans against Authority and its officers demanding their issues to be resolved.
They also tried to enter the authority building but police and PAC personnel restricted them on the gate. Administration has deployed large number of security forces in lieu of the protest and gates were locked so that no can enter the premises.
Farmers alleged authority of announcing deduction in the predefined compensation from 10 % to 6% which is not acceptable to them at any cost. Further they alleged that authority is posing penalty on many farmers for not doing construction on the land which is provide to them as a compensation. The farmer leaders claim that there was no facility such as roads or sewers in the area where lands have been allotted and hence no construction was possible under present scenario.
TA farmer leader said, ” We want to ask authority that how will we proceed with any construction if there is no basic infrastructure in the area like road, electricity, sever and other basic amenities. And the compensation land are also misplaced as a resident of a particular village is getting land in another village which is very inconvenient for us”.
Further they said that they will not leave from here till their demand swill not be accepted and if needed be they will also lay seize the residence of CEO Debashish Panda.
They alleged that now Greater Noida Development Authority has transformed into builder’s development authority. We the farmers remained deprived from our right despite the fact that this is the community that provided the land for settling down this city.
