Plots with overgrown shrubs also den of snakes & insects, say locals
RWAs said the plots, many of which received completion certificates years ago, remain untouched, posing serious health and safety risks. Over the years, these sites have become hubs for mosquito breeding and a den for snakes, scorpions, and other dangerous insects. They are also frequented by anti-social elements, adding to residents' worries.
"There are more than 50 completion plots in the sector, which have been lying vacant for about 20 years.
To date, no construction has been done on them. These plots have received the completion certificate from the authority only by doing the formality, but they are neither maintained nor cleaned as their condition is pathetic," said Umesh Sharma, RWA president of Sector 122.

Sharma added that dirt continues to accumulate in these plots, attracting snakes and other poisonous insects. "The RWA itself is bearing the cost of cleaning these plots, whereas it is the responsibility of the plot owners and the authority," he said, adding that they have urged officials from work circle 6 of Noida Authority to investigate the issue and take timely punitive action.

Residents have demanded that the Authority issue notices to defaulting plot owners and enforce strict measures, including fines and even sealing, in cases of non-compliance.
Similar complaints have emerged from other residential sectors. Mohinder Singh, a resident of another sector, said about 30 plots in his locality have been lying vacant for years, causing constant nuisance to neighbours. "The Authority should issue notices to such plot owners to make them habitable within a limited time frame of two years.
Failing that, their allotments should be cancelled, and the plots auctioned," he said.
Echoing similar concerns, Anita Singh, RWA president of Sector 40, said the vacant plots in her sector were turning into security risks and a nightmare for residents. "After taking the completion certificate, these plots have been lying vacant for many years," she said.
Officials from the Noida Authority maintained that notices are routinely issued to such plot owners and penalties imposed. "After following due process, cancellation of allotment is also a provision in such cases," an official said.

Echoes of past: How Delhi's forgotten monuments are coming back to life
NEW DELHI: On the Delhi state archaeology department's agenda is the restoration of four historic sites in the city - the Dwarka baoli, the kos minars near Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals and at Badarpur border and a minar in Hastsal village. While work on the Dwarka stepwell and the milestone at Badarpur border have been completed, the process is nearing completion at the other two sites. The estimated cost of these projects was over Rs 30 lakh. The baoli at Dwarka, also known as Loharheri ki Baoli, is a 16th-century stepwell built in the Lodhi era to serve the ironsmith community of Loharheri village. Hidden for years under vegetation, it was rediscovered and is now recognised as an important architectural site. Located between a school and residential complex in Sector 12, the restored structure now features repaired stone flooring, lime replastering and repainted grilles and gates.

These minars played a crucial role in communication and navigation during the Mughal period. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Nvidia's AI Strategy Is Clear - But Is Wall Street Paying Attention? Seeking Alpha Read More Undo Restoration work at the site included repairs to the rubble masonry boundary wall, stone paving, repointing and repainting of grilles. Work at the kos minar near Apollo Hospital is in its final stages and is likely to be completed at the end of this month. According to INTACH, the minar is a cylindrical, tapering structure with three horizontal moulded sections, an octagonal base and a domed top. Once used to mark distances - one kos equals approximately 3km - these structures were part of India's medieval road system. Restoration includes building a brick boundary wall, stone flooring, masonry reinforcement, chemical cleaning and installation of new grilles and a gate. In Hastsal village, restoration is under way on a 17-metre-high, three-storeyed brick minar built during emperor Shah Jahan's reign. Likely intended as a shooting tower near the Mughal emperor's hunting lodge, the minar features red sandstone facades, a narrow internal staircase and architectural elements reminiscent of Qutub Minar. Ongoing work includes boundary wall construction, lime plastering, red sandstone flooring and painting of grilles and walls. Completion is expected by Aug-end. In addition to these projects, the Delhi Tourism and Transport Development Corporation is overseeing the restoration of several other monuments and improve public access to them. These include six monuments within Mehrauli Archaeological Park, three in Lodhi Garden, as well as Ghost Gumbad, Baradari Qudsia, the Tomb of Bijri Khan, Mutiny Memorial, Turkmen Gate and Bawana Jail. Plans include adding amenities like restrooms and lighting wherever space allows. Department officials said that while some sites like Quli Khan's Tomb in Mehrauli Archaeological Park and Shah Jahan's Turkman Gate will undergo structural stabilisation and restoration, others were being given visitor-friendly features. The Mughal-era tomb of Paik, located near Mukarba Chowk, is getting a complete makeover. An amphitheatre and cafeteria are under construction, along with an interpretation room to help visitors understand the monument's historical significance and boost tourist engagement.

The one color your main door should never have; And what to paint it instead
Ever feel like things are almost about to fall into place… but somehow, they don't? Like the money is yet to come, the peace is almost there, and the good news keeps getting delayed. Well, don't blame your stars just yet. The culprit could be right in front of you (literally). Yes, it's your main door. Your main door is not just an aesthetic choice, it's an energy statement. And there's one shade you should avoid at all costs. Never Paint It Black Black might be bold, classy, and mysterious. But in Vastu Shastra, it's considered a magnet for negativity when used on the main door. Why? Because your entrance is like your home's face chakra. It absorbs, reflects, and channels the energy you invite in. Black, although elegant, creates energetic heaviness. It blocks Prana (life force), dulls optimism, and can even attract confusion or emotional isolation, especially if your entrance faces North or East. Basically, you might be locking joy out and letting gloom in. What to Paint It Instead The better question is: what kind of energy do you want walking into your life? North-facing door? Go for sky blue or white. These invite clarity, career growth, and flow. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why seniors are rushing to get this Internet box – here's why!
