One-time scheme for allottees, flood relief project & more get GNIDA nod
Noida: Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) approved proposals for improving civic infrastructure and providing relief to flat allottees, among others, during its 140th board meeting on Monday. Several initiatives impacting flat buyers, flood management, and airport security accommodation were discussed at the meeting, which was chaired by UP chief secretary and GNIDA chairman Manoj Kumar Singh. Among the schemes approved was a One-Time Settlement (OTS) scheme to provide relief to allottees of multi-storey flats ranging from EWS (Economically Weaker Sections) to flats measuring up to 121 square metres. Officials said that this scheme is expected to benefit around 2,000 flat buyers, many of whom were unable to execute their lease deeds due to the burden of outstanding premiums and late fees. Under the OTS, the Authority will offer waivers or concessions on interest charged on the unpaid premium and penalties for delay in lease deed execution. The scheme will remain open for applicants until Dec 31.

GNIDA's property department will soon issue an official order with detailed guidelines and implementation dates. The board also approved the construction of a regulator on the Aimanabad Bandh to protect Greater Noida from possible flooding caused by the Hindon River during the monsoon. The regulator will help prevent floodwater from entering city areas and also protect vulnerable regions near the Bisrakh drain from erosion. The irrigation department has been tasked with constructing the regulator, while GNIDA will bear the entire cost of Rs 10.56 crore. The Authority will release the funds shortly so the department can begin the tendering and construction process, officials said. A proposal to provide accommodation to Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel assigned to guard the upcoming Noida International Airport on rent was also approved at the meeting. A total of 467 vacant flats in Sector Omicron 1A, belonging to the MIG and LIG categories, will be handed over for use by the CISF. This initiative is expected to ensure better housing facilities and logistical ease for the deployed personnel.

Rahul-occupied-Congress doesn't want its MPs to support 'Op Sindoor' in Parliament: BJP MP Thakur
New Delhi: BJP MP and former Union Minister Anurag Thakur launched a scathing attack on the Congress party on Tuesday, accusing it of sidelining its own experienced leaders and politicising 'Operation Sindoor'. Speaking to reporters outside Parliament, Thakur took a swipe at Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and referred to the Congress as 'Rahul-occupied Congress' alleging that it deliberately suppressed voices within its own ranks who had represented India internationally. Speaking on the discussion in Parliament on 'Operation Sindoor' and the delegation sent by Prime Minister Modi post the cessation in hostilities between the two neighbours, which included MPs from across party lines including the Congress, he said, 'These are the same MPs (referring to Shashi Tharoor and Manish Tiwari) who were sent abroad as part of India's official delegation after 'Operation Sindoor'. They effectively raised India's voice globally. Yet, their voices are not heard inside Parliament.' 'Why were they not allowed to speak in Parliament? Are they not competent or experienced enough?' he questioned. Thakur stated that several countries had condemned the Pahalgam terror attack and offered condolences to the victims' families after 'Operation Sindoor'. 'But perhaps that doesn't sit well with Rahul Gandhi's Congress. Maybe that's why they don't want their own MPs to highlight this support in Parliament,' he claimed. He accused the Congress party of using 'Operation Sindoor' as a political tool rather than standing with the armed forces. 'All they wanted was to question how many planes were downed. Not a single Congress MP asked how much damage was inflicted on Pakistan, how many terrorists were neutralised, or how many terror sites were destroyed.' Even after External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar responded in detail, Thakur said, Congress continued its accusatory tone. 'Their line of questioning, their tone — everything shows whose side they're on,' he remarked, implying that the Opposition's approach was more political than patriotic. The BJP has repeatedly accused the Congress of undermining the armed forces, a charge the Opposition denies stating that it is only seeking transparency which is allowed in a democracy.
