Having paid through their noses for a luxurious lifestyle in the opulent hub of high-rises, residents of Indirapuram now find themselves running pillar to post for basic amenities — a government health-care facility, public transport options, Metro connectivity, and Ganga water supply, to name a few.
Little wonder then that these assembly elections, they are pinning their hopes, and votes, on the candidate that will prioritise their needs.
With over 65 high-rise residential societies, Indirapuram has 1.70 lakh (170,000) registered voters under the Sahibabad assembly constituency — one of five assembly segments in Ghaziabad district and the largest one in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
