Allottees hint at realtor-authority staff nexus Over 300 residential plot allottees of the Yamuna Expressway Authority (YEA) are in a dilemma. This is because the authority has told them that their allotments got automatically cancelled due to non-payment of dues and has refused to restore the allotments. But what is making the situation strange is the fact that property dealers are contacting the allotees and coercing them to sell the plots to them. Speaking on the condition of anonymity, one such allottee told The Tribune, "I contacted the chairman-cum-chief executive officer of YEA through a UP minister, but I was told that nothing could be done now as the allotment money was not paid in time. However, I am getting messages from property dealers to sell the plot to them at a premium of Rs 2,000 per square metre. But the question is if we agree to sell the plots to property dealers, how will they get the allotment restored?" said the allottee. The situation clearly h

Highway To Hapur To Be Eight-Laned, Unlikely NH-24 Stretch Will Not Be A Toll Road By sakshi sinha, Section Roads in Noida Posted on Mon Jul 19, 2010 at 12:40:42 AM EST Work will soon begin to make the drive to Nainital or Corbett national park get off to a fast start. The road transport and highways ministry is starting work on eightlaning the 28km stretch of National Highway-24 from Ghaziabad border to Dasna near Hapur.

At present, the four-laned road from Ghaziabad border to Dasna is one of the most congested NH corridors in the country.

A third bridge is coming up over the river Hindon. The new bridge, to be built at a cost of Rs 25 crore, is expected to put the pressure off the existing bridges which have become old. The GDA will float the tender for the bridge sometime in July. "From the day one, we were stuck on the huge cost of construction and it became hard to carry forward this project without getting the green signal from the state administration. Now the cost has been reduced from Rs 29 crore to Rs 25 crore in fresh revision," said Anil Garg chief engineer GDA. Garg said construction would start very soon. Seeing the chaotic condition of the Hindon bridge, it becomes pertinent to construct a third one parallel to the existing bridge which always remains under tremendous traffic pressure.

ग्रेटर नोएडा से नोएडा जाने में नो टेंशन श्यामवीर चावड़ा ।। ग्रेटर नोएडा ग्रेटर नोएडा से अब नोएडा जाने के लिए नो टेंशन। इसके लिए एक नया रास्ता तैयार हो गया है। इसके जरिये मात्र 20 म िनट में ग्रेटर नोएडा से नोएडा के सेक्टर-70 पहुंचा जा सकता है। जाम का भी कोई झंझट नहीं। डीएससी रोड पर भंगेल, सलारपुर और बरौला के जाम में भी नहीं फंसना पड़ेगा। ग्रेटर नोएडा से यामाहा कंपनी के पास से होकर जाने वाली रोड ने नोएडा के सेक्टर-70 को सीधे कनेक्ट कर दिया है। अभी तक ग्रेटर नोएडा से नोएडा के सेक्टर-70, 71 और आसपास के एरिया तक पहुंचने के लिए डीएससी रोड से होकर जाना पड़ता था। इसके लिए वाहन चालकों को करीब 25 किलोमीटर की दूरी तय करनी पड़ती है। साथ ही तीन स्थानों पर ट्रैफिक जाम से भी जूझना पड़ता है। सूरजपुर से आगे बढ़ने पर नोएडा के भंगेल, सलारपुर और बरौला में जाम लगता है। इसके चलते वाहन चालकों को इन तीनों कस्बों को क्रॉस करने में आधा से पौना घंटे का समय लग जाता है। इसके चलते वाहन चालकों को ग्रेटर नोएडा से नोएडा के सेक्टर-70, 71 और आसपास के एरिया में जाने के लिए एक से डेढ घंटे का समय लग जाता है। इन एरिया में ज
