Greater Noida: The eastern peripheral expressway (EPE) project is poised to take off on Wednesday, more than a year-and-a-half after the Supreme Court rapped the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and directed it to expedite its execution.

The project had hit several roadblocks in the past, especially from farmers in the area, who were refusing to part with their lands. However, on directions from the Supreme Court, farmers will now receive an enhanced compensation of Rs 3,500 per square metre as against Rs 850 per square metre.

According to Gautam Budh Nagar district magistrate N P Singh, orders have been issued to additional DM (ADM) of land and relevant departments about the decision. “Following a representation by farmers to the arbitration committee seeking enhancement and after several rounds of talks with the agitating farmers, the compensation has been revised,” Singh told TOI. “Work by contractors appointed by the NHAI is expected to start from Wednesday, May 18,” he said.

“I have also given directions to my officials for distribution of the enhanced compensation once the formalities are completed with the NHAI. This should take about a week after which we will hold camps and start distribution without delay,” Singh said.

Farmers from 39 villages across Greater Noida have been protesting against the construction work since August 2015 when the contract for the project was awarded .

The have been demanding hiked compensation in lieu of their acquired land and at par with that given in other villages abutting land for the EPE.

Following their agitation, the NHAI had also earlier moved the apex court with an interlocutory application seeking “police protection from unwarranted obstruction from miscreants and vested interests,” who were obstructing construction of the expressway.According to the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA), the said land has been directly purchased by the NHAI. “GNIDA will not be responsible for handing out the enhanced compensation as the land has been bought directly from farmers by NHAI,” a GNIDA official said. “The NHAI will direct the DM, who will now distribute the hiked compensation to the farmers,” he said.

In Greater Noida, the EPE will connect near the Yamuna Expressway and near the integrated township of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor while on NH-91 (Grand Trunk road) it will connect near Beel Akbarpur. Noida, Greater Noida, Dadri, GT Road, Ghaziabad, Dholana and Hapur will be decongested once the expressway is in place. Expected vehicular movement on the expressway is about one lakh per day by 2021.

Greater Noida: The upcoming Noida-Greater Noida Metro link is witnessing the fastest-ever pace of construction in India. In a record time of six months from the date of award of the contract, the first U-girder for the corridor was put in place across two piers at Greater Noida’s Delta station on Friday.

According to Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) officials, this is the fastest ever girder launched from the date of award of the civil contract – June 2015 – in the country. Girders of other Metro corridors, including Faridabad, Cochi and Lucknow, have been launched in 7.5 to 12 months.

Touted to be ready for trial runs by December 2017 and commercial operations by March 2018, DMRC officials now hope they will be able to roll out the Metro service before the scheduled timeline. “We are confident that in view of the fast pace of construction of this line, it should be possible to open this section for the public a few months before the schedule,” Mangu Singh, managing director of DMRC, said.

In fact, the first girder for the Noida-Greater Noida Metro track took less than half an hour to lift into place by two hydraulic cranes. About 30 engineers and supervisors carried out a smooth operation. DMRC plans to put into place another two U-girders in place this month. They will be located at sectors 148 and 71.

After January 15, 2016, lifting of the girders will be continuous from three different locations, officials said.

“U-girders are U-shaped horizontal segments on which the Metro tracks are laid on elevated sections. Generally, the casting of the U-girders takes at least six months. However, it was achieved within four months for the Noida-Greater Noida track facilitating the installation work of the U-girders within such a short time,” said Pramit Garg, the project director of Noida-Greater Noida Metro.

Garg said the erection of U-girder is the last activity as far as civil work is concerned. Activities, including design, survey, geotechnical investigation, setting of casting yard for producing concrete and casting of U-girder and pier cap, pile foundations , pile cap, pier, erection of pier cap, stitching of pier cap, casting of shear key and pedestal, besides bearing fixing, need to be completed preceding the erection of U-girder.

Rama Raman, chairperson of the three development authorities of Gautam Budh Nagar, said, “After Delhi, UP is where the largest Metro network is being put on track. As Noida and Greater Noida urbanise at an unprecedented pace, we want to improve the two city’s transport systems besides pushing them towards being smart cities of the future.”

He added, “We are happy with the progress of the track. We believe the Metro will boost urbanisation, generate employment and provide a surge to economic activity besides reducing pollution and congestion on streets.”

The Noida-Greater Noida Metro project is a 29.9-km-long elevated section, comprising 21 stations. DMRC is executing the project as the project management consultant for the Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC). The contractor for this line is CEC (Taiwan)-SAM(India) Joint Venture.

Twenty-three companies inked a pact with the UP government at its Investors’ Conclave in Delhi, some promising to expand existing businesses, and others pledging to set up shop in the state over the coming years. Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd also signed a 5000 crore MoU .

Greater Noida: Taking another step towards putting its night safari project on track, the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has finalized the business plan for the project.

In a meeting held on Thursday, which included officials from the Central Zoo Authority of India, the Authority has fixed the construction cost at Rs 750 crore. Tenders for the project will be initiated next month, while construction is expected to commence in June, officials said.

Officials said, the area of land for the project has also been increased by another 87 acres. “Now the project will be developed across 337 acres instead of 250 acres,” said a senior official. “The core area will be built across 200 acres, while the rest of the area will be used for business activities,” he said. “This will include hotel, club, pub, bar, etc” he said.

The detailed project report for the night safari is already in place and has been approved by the state government. An expression of interest (EoI) from developers, operators, individual entities and consortiums was invited by GNIDA in November last year.

The project has been conceptualized as a night zoo and family entertainment destination, which would include a night safari, bird park, artificial water body, club, cultural village and entertainment zone to be developed on a design, build, finance, operate and transfer (DBFOT) basis.

India’s first night safari project is to be developed on land adjoining the Gautam Budh University campus on Yamuna Expressway.
