Noida Sector 145 Residents Protest for Plot Possession Delays

Scores of plot owners in Noida's Sector 145 protested on Sunday against the local authority for delaying the handover of their residential plots and developing the sector, despite an eight-year wait. The Resident Welfare Association (RWA) of Sector 145 organised the protest, which saw participation from senior citizens, men, women, and children carrying banners and posters.

Protest Organised by RWA

The protest was driven by frustration over the lack of a clear timeline for providing physical possession of the plots. The delay affects around 2,250 plots, impacting an estimated 15,000 people who have been waiting since their registries were completed about eight years ago. The RWA stated that this prolonged wait has led to significant distress among the plot owners.

"We're fed up with the Noida Authority's endless excuses and lack of transparency," said Latsahab Lohia, president of Sector 145 RWA. "They have taken all our life savings and failed to hand over our rightful plots and develop the sector. It's heartbreaking to see our dream of building homes turning into a nightmare," he added.

Demands for Immediate Action

The protesters demanded that authorities provide a concrete timeline for the handover and development of the sector. They emphasised that their patience has worn thin after years of unfulfilled promises. "We demand action now, not words," Lohia insisted.

Noida Authority officials could not be contacted for their comments on the matter. The lack of response from officials has only added to the frustration of the plot owners, who feel neglected and ignored by those responsible for addressing their concerns.

The protest highlighted the urgent need for transparency and accountability from the local authority. The plot owners are seeking immediate action to resolve the issue and fulfil the promises made to them years ago.
