Greater Noida authority has now decided to revise the land allotment guidelines and make a new list of farmers to start the allotment process due to recent allegations of lack of transparency and irregular workflow. As per the land rules, the officials allow to alot of 6% to 4% of land for residential use against the total land acquired from local farmers for its commercial use in the city in alphabetical order. Although with new rules it will allow to alot the land to farmers on the basis of the date the land was acquired.

“Earlier we used to allot the plots on the basis of alphabetical order. The fault with this system was that someone whose name begins with the letter A used to get the plot even if his land was acquired recently, while someone whose name begins with Y gets the plot later even if his land was acquired in the first lot. Therefore, we are making a list of farmers on the basis of the date when the land was acquired,” said Amandeep Duli, additional chief executive officer, of Greater Noida authority.
If there are multiple farmer’s lands that were acquired on the same date then with the help of new rules authority will allow the land on the basis of the submission of their application for the allotment of land the official added.
“Earlier, the planning and the land department used to exercise discretion to allot the plot in any sector of the city. But now the farmers will get these plots only in the sector located adjoining to their village. If there is no land left near their village, then the plot will be allotted within a 3km radius of the particular village,” said Duli.
