Pull over & grab a bite: Parking for cars at Noida's food streets
Noida: Two food streets on the lines of Indore's famous '56 Dukan', proposed to come up near Botanical Garden metro station in Sector 38A and Skymark One building in Sector 98, will allow people to unwind with their families, grab a bite to eat, and not worry about traffic or parking. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Officials said that the Sector 38A zone will come up on a 1km stretch between GIP Mall and the Botanical Garden parking at Rs 3 crore and have 16 stalls offering a variety of street foods. Noida Authority will carve out parking spots for over 100 cars along the stretch so that people can enjoy food either from their cars or while sitting in a pleasant open setting. The second zone near Skymark has already been developed along a 45-metre-wide service road near Noida Expressway and will have six stalls. It will be developed at Rs 2.2 crore. On Tuesday, Noida Authority officials said that the food streets will be operated by a single agency on a revenue-sharing model and not individual vendors, as planned earlier. "Noida Authority will not allocate kiosks in these street markets individually. Instead, both markets will be handed over to a single company, which will be selected through an RFP process," said Noida Authority CEO Lokesh M. According to officials, a few shops in the food streets will be reserved for women and disabled persons. "Apart from food stalls, the Authority plans to have some shops selling jewellery and other items to draw more people. However, it will be the agency's outlook in selecting the vendors," Lokesh M said. All civil and utility work is scheduled to be completed by the end of June. Once construction is finished, the markets will be ready for launch. Officials said these hubs are designed to serve not only as entertainment and leisure spaces but also as a steady source of revenue for the Authority.

"You have to tell Pakistan's story to your children so that they don't forget that our forefathers thought we were different from Hindus in every possible aspect of life,' he said. 'Our religions are different, our customs are different, our traditions are different, our thoughts are different, our ambitions are different. That was the foundation of the two-nation theory that was laid there. We are two nations, we are not one nation,' news agency PTI quoted him as saying.
