June 12, 2023: The Greater Noida Authority will allocate 44 acre of land in the Bodaki area for the development of a logistics hub and transport hub project, according to a Hindustan Times report. This comes after a resolution of the compensation issues with the affected farmers.
Ritu Maheshwari, the chief executive officer of the Greater Noida Authority, said they would soon compensate the farmers for their houses, clearing the way for the handover of this 44-acre land for these crucial projects. Around Rs 67 crore would be distributed among the farmers from four villages, whose land is required for the projects, she added.
The decision was made at a recent board meeting on June 6, 2023, chaired by Manoj Kumar Singh, the Uttar Pradesh infrastructure and industrial development commissioner. The board approved the proposal to compensate the farmers who had been demanding it for their houses built on the land, officials said.
Maheshwari said the delay in deciding had hindered the handover of the 44-acre land for the past six to seven years. However, they had finally resolved this issue, ensuring that the work on the Transport Hub and the Logistics Hub was not further delayed.
Out of the 478 acre of land required for the two projects, the authority had already handed over the entire land, except for the 44 acre in four villages – Chitheda, Katheda, Palla and Bodaki.
On September 25, 2021, the authority approved the detailed project report (DPR) for the multi-modal transport project and logistic hub proposed in Bodaki village. The project had earlier received approval from the Centre and other agencies in December 2020. The hub will be developed near a railway station in Bodaki, featuring interstate and local bus terminals, a metro station, commercial and retail spaces, hotels and green open areas.
