NOIDA: Residents of Sector 75 in Noida have raised serious concerns over the deteriorating condition of roads and green spaces in their neighbourhood. In a formal complaint to the district magistrate, they highlighted the poor state of parks, roads and other public facilities that they said are essential to community well-beingAccording to long-time resident Gaurang Dixit, despite several areas being earmarked for the development of parks and green belts, many have turned into garbage dump-yards. Residents have expressed their frustration over the lack of maintenance and development, particularly regarding open spaces between residential societies, which have now become havens for stray animals and litter.“The roads, specifically in front of the Maxblis Grand Wellington and Grand Kingston societies, are in a dire state. They are being used as parking areas for visitors to the Spectrum Metro Mall, leaving little room for the residents’ vehicles,” said Dixit, who wrote to the DM.Roads in the area are also riddled with potholes that pose a hazard to daily commuters, he added. Dixit said that the RWAs have approached the Noida Authority multiple times, appealing for urgent action to mitigate these issues. However, they were informed that the responsibility lies with the builders of the residential societies, who have been unresponsive to the community’s demands, he said.“Noida Authority appears to be shirking its responsibilities concerning the maintenance of common public facilities, leaving residents in an unfortunate and unacceptable situation,” said Navin Misra, another resident of the sector.Despite submitting complaints through official channels like the Noida Authority’s portal, residents said they have received no satisfactory responses. The discontent has prompted them to stage a procession recently to draw attention to their plight, yet the community is still awaiting a decisive response from local authorities.“Raising public awareness of our plight is now our only recourse to redress other than repat complaints with the authority,” Dixit added.A response from the Authority is awaited.
