Noida to Welcome Its First Deer Park and Sunset Safari at Sector 91 Biodiversity Park
Last Updated:
Noida's first Deer Park and Sunset Safari, set in Sector 91's Biodiversity Park, promises a unique blend of wildlife conservation, exotic species, eco-friendly evening adventures
Noida is gearing up to unveil a one-of-a-kind destination that blends wildlife conservation with immersive experiences. The city's first-ever Deer Park and Sunset Safari is currently under development at the Biodiversity Park in Sector 91. Envisioned as an eco-friendly attraction, the project underscores a strong commitment to sustainability and biodiversity.
Announcing the initiative, Noida Authority CEO Lokesh M shared that the development will take place in phases, adhering strictly to environmental regulations. 'We've decided to build the Deer Park and Sunset Safari gradually, and will bring on board two expert consultants to oversee the planning and execution," he said.
A 30-Acre Haven for Wildlife and Visitors
Sprawled across 30 acres, the upcoming park aims to offer visitors a unique blend of education and entertainment, with an estimated development cost of ₹40 crore. Though the project quietly received official approval in June 2024 from the Noida Authority Board, groundwork is only now picking up pace. A detailed project report (DPR) is being prepared in collaboration with a retired district forest officer to ensure ecological and operational accuracy.
The Deer Park will feature a total of 132 deer from 10 distinct species, transforming the space into a curated, zoo-like setting. Several animals will be sourced from prominent zoos in Lucknow, Kanpur, and Hyderabad. Adding a global touch, exotic species such as Springbok, Impala, Wildebeest, and Lesser Kudu will be imported from Africa. Additionally, deer rescued from the vicinity of the Noida International Airport will be relocated here to ensure their safety and care.
One of the park's most exciting features is its Sunset Safari, designed to operate during evening hours up to 10 PM. Unlike conventional safaris, this one will use special spectrum lighting technology that offers clear visibility to visitors while maintaining a natural, night-like ambiance for the animals—ensuring their comfort and preserving nocturnal behavior patterns.
Officials emphasize that the Deer Park and Sunset Safari will serve not just as a recreational space but also as an educational hub. With its focus on conservation and family-friendly experiences, the park is expected to emerge as a key attraction for residents of Noida and the surrounding NCR region.

Noida e-way arm to Delhi to be closed for pipe repairs till Mon
Noida: Traffic on one carriageway of Noida Expressway will be diverted over the weekend as authorities undertake underground water pipeline repairs. The closure, effective from Friday 9pm to Monday 4am, will impact traffic flowing from Pari Chowk towards Delhi. The diversion, which will be done near the bird feeding point adjacent to Dalit Prerna Sthal, will redirect traffic from Pari Chowk and other parts of Greater Noida and Noida to DSC Road, Botanical Garden, Kalindi Kunj and Sarita Vihar. While the Delhi-Noida arm will remain unaffected, vehicles headed to Chilla Border and DND Flyway from Kalindi Kunj will be redirected through the Sector 37 and Botanical Garden route. Due to these diversions, the DSC road, which connects different metro stations like Botanical Garden, Sector 18, 16, and 15, and shopping hubs, like Atta Market, is expected to face heavy traffic pressure. DCP (traffic) Lakhan Singh Yadav said an 800 mm diameter underground water pipeline that passes about 10 metres from the central verge was damaged. "For the repairs, a 30-metre stretch of the main carriageway will be closed over the weekend," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Obtén audífonos premium sin pagar absolutamente nada Top Audifonos Undo Special arrangements will be made for emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire engines during the period. Commuters can flag complaints on the traffic helpline number (9971009001) if they are stuck in tailbacks on the key Delhi-Noida link road. On average, five lakh vehicles use the expressway on weekdays, with two lakh vehicles alone from DND Flyway, one lakh each from Kalindi Kunj, Chilla Border and internal sectors. With offices and schools largely closed, the traffic volume is lower on weekends. Noida Authority's senior manager DL Verma said the damaged pipeline has led to leakages and disruption in water supply in nearby areas. "If the pipeline is not repaired promptly, it can damage the expressway. With monsoon approaching, we cannot delay the work as it involves digging, which could be challenging during the rains," Verma said, adding the work would be completed over the weekend to minimise traffic disruption. In Feb, Noida Authority had diverted traffic in the expressway section for repairing the water pipeline.

Commuters alert: Noida-Greater Noida Expressway partially closed for pipeline work till Monday
Commuters alert: Noida-Greater Noida Expressway partially closed for pipeline work till Monday NOIDA: Commuters travelling from Pari Chowk in Greater Noida to Delhi's Mayur Vihar, Akshardham, ITO via the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway will face traffic congestion this weekend as Noida Authority and traffic police will impose diversions near the Bird Feeding Point, close to Dalit Prerna Sthal, to facilitate repairs of underground water pipes. The pipes have been damaged and they need urgent repairs. Meanwhile, there will be no diversion on the Delhi-Noida-Greater Noida arm of the Expressway. The diversion will be enforced from 9 pm on Friday until 4 am on Monday. Lakhan Singh Yadav, deputy commissioner of police (traffic), said that an 800 mm diameter water pipe is damaged at this location. The underground pipe lies nearly 10 metres from the central verge. "To carry out the repair work, a section of the main carriageway — about 5 metres wide and 30 metres long — will be closed from Friday night until Monday morning," he said. He said that traffic pressure is expected to increase due to this restriction on the main carriageway. The traffic police have advised that commuters travelling from Pari Chowk to Mayur Vihar, Akshardham, and Chilla Border on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway to take the Dadri-Chhalera Road (DSC Road) and the Botanical Garden route to avoid inconvenience. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo From Greater Noida, Delhi-bound traffic will also be diverted via Kalindi Kunj and Sarita Vihar. Additionally, the traffic coming from Kalindi Kunj towards Chilla Border and the DND Flyway will be redirected through Sector 37 and the Botanical Garden route. However, emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire tenders will be provided safe passage. The traffic police have urged commuters to use alternative routes and avoid the area during this period. They have also issued a helpline number — 9971009001 — for any assistance. DL Verma, senior manager, Noida Authority, said that the damaged water pipeline has caused leakage and disrupted water supply in nearby areas. "If the pipeline is not repaired promptly, it could further damage even the Noida Expressway. Moreover, with the monsoon season approaching, conducting digging work during rains would be challenging once rainfall starts. Therefore, we have decided to complete the repairs over this weekend to minimise traffic disruption," he said. The officials had placed similar restrictions at this spot in Feb 2025 for repair of underground water pipes.

May 31 deadline gone too, Noida metro skywalk may be ready in July now
Noida: A 420-metre-long skywalk that is to connect the Sector 51 and 52 metro stations has missed yet another deadline of May 31. Noida Authority recently said the project would be ready by July 31. Construction of the L-shaped, air-conditioned skywalk, spanning 420 metres and featuring a travelator, started in March 2023 and was to be completed within a year. The work was hindered following a National Green Tribunal's (NGT) ban on winter construction to control pollution, and again over design modifications of the project. As work drags on, the stretch between the two stations has to be covered on foot, which becomes tricky for commuters as parts of the footpath is either broken or encroached. E-rickshaws and autos also block the road. Vipul Garg, a resident of Jewar who travels to Noida and Delhi for work frequently and prefers to use the metro, said it was inconvenient for commuters to switch between the Aqua and Blue lines in the absence of an interchange. "A temporary covered walkway that once connected the stations was dismantled before the construction on the skywalk began. Commuters are forced to exit the metro stations and walk the 400-metre stretch amid rain, storm and heat," he said. In May, Garg filed a complaint on the Integrated Grievance Redressal System (IGRS) and sought to know when the skywalk project would be completed. In its response on June 3, the Authority said some electrical work was pending, and the skywalk would be operational by July 31. Neeraj Sharma, a Delhi resident who works in the Noida Special Economic Zone (NSEZ), said he uses the metro daily and finds the interchange problematic. "The delay in completion of the skywalk is only a part of the problem. DMRC and NMRC are yet to integrate metro cards, so commuters need to keep separate cards or buy tickets separately. Again, the entry to Sector 51 station is through the rear as the front side has been leased out to multiple agencies for commercial activities. Auto drivers block the entry and exit points, which leads to chaos during peak hours. Enforcement drives are rare and largely ineffective," he added.
