NEFOMA

Dear Members

Buyers want action to avoid future obstacles

Ayaskant Das, TNN | Jun 16, 2012, 03.24AM IST

NOIDA: Intensifying their campaign against Greater Noida Authority, homebuyers of Noida Extension on Friday wrote to the chairman, Rakesh Bahadur, requesting him to ensure early clearance of Master Plan 2021. Noida Extension Flat Owners and Members Association (NEFOMA) have asked for immediate settlement of issues related to farmers' compensations to avoid complications so that construction of flats can resume once the plan is cleared.

Homebuyers have highlighted the objections raised by NCRPB and asked the Authority to rectify them. "NCRPB has objections regarding population density and recreational green area. We requested the chairman to ensure that things pointed out be incorporated in the Master Plan," said Devender Kumar, founder of NEFOMA.

The planning board has raised objections to the provisions proposed by the Authority on projected population density of Greater Noida. The Authority, through its letter dated May 18 to NCRPB had proposed that "the density of group housing flats sold has been increased from 350 people per hectare (pph) to 700 pph and in the remaining unsold residential areas, the density proposed is 1,650 pph." The Authority had further written, "The effect of this will be that by 2031 the population shall increase to 28 lakh, as per study done by a consultant. The town density then shall become 126 pph."

The population of Greater Noida, since its inception in 1991, has grown to around 1.3 lakh in a period of more than 20 years, even though the projected population for 2011 was 12.5 lakh. The planning board has raised doubts on claims made by the Authority that population would increase to 28 lakh by 2031.

The issue of land acquired vis-a-vis projected population of Greater Noida has also been raised in a PIL due to be filed by farmers. "Projecting a population of 12.5 lakh by 2021, the Authority acquired massive tracts of land. While population did not cross the 1.5 lakh mark, land acquired from farmers was sold to developers, thereby turning Greater Noida into a vast speculative property market," said farmers' counsel, Parmindera Bhati. "As its population did not grow to match its claims made in Master Plan 2021, the Authority is now trying to justify its case on the basis of projected population figures for 2031," he added.

While the Authority has modified the green area cover in the draft Master Plan, marking 'Institutional Green' as a separate category, the planning board has raised objections to this change too.

Subject : Information regarding status of Master Plan 2021 approval.

Respected Sir,

We NEFOMA (Noida Extension Flat Owners and Members Association) represent around two lacs flat buyers of Noida Extension. Due to delay and the uncertainty of the construction work of our flats, we are under huge financial burden from last one year. We have paid our hard-earned money to builders and paying loans and interests to the banks. Most of us are living in rented house. The mental agony has become intolerable now.

Though the honorable high court in its judgment dt. 21st Oct ‘ 2011 clearly mentioned to allow the construction work in the area after taking due approval of Master Plan – 2021 from NCRPB, but the approval is yet to be cleared. In last eight months , we have observed that whenever GNIDA submits the master plan to NCRPB it returns pointing some mistake in it. As per the latest statement by NCRPB, we understand that the Master Plan was sent to NCRPB directly instead of sending it through the Urban Development Ministry, UP. Furthermore, they have also sought objection regarding density and the recreational green area and many more. In this regard we would like to request you to please take the matter very seriously and ensure that whatever have been pointed out by NCRPB should be incorporated in the Master Plan. We also request you to please discuss the matter with the UP and Central Govt. to get it resolved at the earliest.

We have been also watching the agitation of farmers through the media. Still, why the farmers are standing against the authority / builders even after announcement of an increased compensation with a part of developed land in the area. In this regard we request you to kindly complete the disbursal of compensation as early as possible to avoid any complications in the start of construction of our flats.

Finally, we would like to say that we flat buyers belong to low / middle income class. As further delay will endanger our dreams to have our homes and aggravate our financial problems too much.

We request you on behalf of all Noida Extension flat buyers to take this matter sympathetically and on priority basis resolve this issue as early as possible and make all your effort to provide us the affordable house in Noida Extension.

We buyers are eagerly waiting for your reply.

Regards.

On behalf of Noida Extension Flat Owners and Members Association (NEFOMA)

Shweta Bharti
General Secretary.

'Team Anna encashing Noida agitation for political mileage'

 Press Trust of India / Noida June 02, 2012, 20:45

 Condemning the visit of Manish Sisodia to Greater Noida in support of local farmers, a flat owners' association accused Team Anna of encashing the Noida extension agitation for political interest.

 "If Team Anna wanted to raise the farmers issue from NCR then why they selected only Noida farmers. It appears they want to encash the Noida extension agitation for their political interests. Why they did not choose NCR's other areas such as Faridabad, Gurgaon and Ghaziabad," Noida Extension Flat Owners Members Association General secretary Shweta Bharti said in a statement.

 Sisodia, Team Anna's key member, had yesterday visited Greater Noida where he supported local farmers in their fight for their land.

 The body said the farmers condition is bad in other parts of the country also, including in Anna Hazare's home state Maharashtra, but the Team Anna members are not seen there.

 "India Against Corruption people are in all corners of the country, but why the Team Anna members did not meet farmers in other areas. In Anna's home state Maharashtra's Vidarbha area condition of farmers is very bad. Why the team Anna members are not seen there to help those farmers," she said.

 "As per WTO report in India around one lakh farmers every year commit suicide due to overburden of loans. The Government's welfare schemes did not reach farmers. How many of these farmers are in NCR?" she asked.

 "We have invested our hard earned money for the purchase of our home at Noida Extension," she said.

 The buyers will hold dharna in Delhi on June 8 to protest against the non-clearance of Greater Noida master plan resulting in the halting of realty projects.
