Beta-1 civic repair begins after DM visit — Greater Noida: A practical reader guide

GREATER NOIDA: Sewer cleaning and repairs of damaged electrical infrastructure commenced in Greater Noida’s Sector Beta-1 on Wednesday a day after residents highlighted various pending civic works and security concerns to Gautam Budh Nagar district magistrate (DM) during a field inspection.

Sewer cleaning has begun, and work is also being carried out on the electrical infrastructure where wires were damaged and some electrical boxes were not functioning. We hope the other issues raised during the inspection are also taken up soon. Some residents pointed to choked lines and overflow. “The issues are not confined to one particular point in the sector. Sewer overflow, low water pressure and inadequate street lighting have been affecting residents for some time. It is encouraging that work has now begun on some of these issues after the inspection.

Harendra Bhati, a Beta-1 resident, said, “Work has started today. They inspected the locations and have assured that all necessary work would be taken up,” Beta-1 RWA president Sangeeta Sharma. Because the sector has several open stretches, “The absence of a boundary wall was raised as a security concern. We raised the issue with the district administration so that a permanent solution can be worked out instead of addressing security concerns only when a problem occurs,” Bhati said.

They also complained of inadequate pressure in the Ganga water supply network, which they said was affecting water availability in the sector. We hope the remaining problems are also addressed in a time-bound manner,” said another resident Umesh Kumar. In a statement, Greater Noida authority’s deputy general manager Vijay Rawal said the issues raised during the inspection will be examined and necessary work will be undertaken following required procedures.

“We raised the issues of the boundary wall, sewer overflow, low water pressure and streetlights before the officials.
