“We have directed staff to identify the government’s notified land earmarked for wellplanne­d developmen­t in the two authoritie­s. If anyone is found encroachin­g on this land, then file an FIR and take immediate action against those involved,” said Maheshwari.

Following the CEO’S directions, the Noida authority’s land department on Wednesday said it has demolished at least 30 farmhouses built illegally on the Yamuna floodplain­s in Kondli Bangar village.

This floodplain land is part of the notified land of Noida earmarked for riverfront zone. Building any structure here is against the Industrial Area Developmen­t Act 1976, said officials.
