Noida: The Federation of Noida Residents Welfare Associations (FONRWA) has launched a vociferous campaign urging the government to halt land auctions in housing sectors. This call to action follows the recent announcement by the Noida Authority regarding the auction of residential plots in various sectors, sparking concerns among residents.
A major worry voiced by FONRWA is the potential escalation of property prices, which could render homeownership unattainable for many middle-class families. With the cost of living already surging, residents fear that the auctions will only exacerbate the situation, making affordable housing a distant dream for the common man.
Another pressing issue highlighted by FONRWA is the strain on existing infrastructure that could result from new residential projects. Noida, like many burgeoning cities, is already grappling with inadequate infrastructure, including roads, water supply, and sewage systems. The addition of new residential complexes without corresponding improvements could lead to congestion and environmental degradation.
Moreover, FONRWA has raised concerns about the lack of transparency in the auction process, questioning the criteria for selecting bidders and determining auction prices. They have called for greater transparency and public participation in decision-making to ensure that the interests of the local community are protected.
In response, the Noida Authority has defended the auctions as a routine revenue-generating measure for infrastructure development. They have assured residents that the auctions are conducted fairly and transparently, adhering to strict guidelines.
However, residents remain steadfast in their demand for the scheme to be halted. They argue that while revenue generation is crucial, it should not come at the expense of their welfare. They have called on the government to explore alternative revenue sources that do not burden the common man.
As the debate intensifies, the fate of the land auction scheme hangs in the balance. Noida residents are determined to safeguard their interests and ensure that any development in the city is aligned with their needs and aspirations.
