Noida, May 30 (PTI) The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) removed illegal colonisers and constructions from five hectares of land along Hindon floodplains during an anti-encroachment drive, officials said on Thursday.
The GNIDA, which functions under the Uttar Pradesh government, bulldozed illegal constructions as colonisers tried to set up a new colony in Tugalpur village, the authority said in a statement.
"GNIDA CEO NG Ravi Kumar has given instructions to take action against encroachment in the notified area of the authority and continuous action is being taken to remove encroachment by the Projects Department," it said.
