GREATER NOIDA The Gautam Budh Nagar administration on Tuesday assured farmers of two villagesthat it would pay them the compensation for land acquired for the upcoming international airport in Jewar soon.
“Around 150 farmers wanted the money before their houses were demolished. We assured them that the payment will be done in the next two to three days,” said additional district magistrate (ADM) Diwarkar Singh.
The airport project would entail the demolition of around 3,000 houses in the villages of Ranhera, Rohi, Parohi, Nagla Chhitar, Nagla Ganeshi, Nagla Shareef and Kishorpur.
“The houses in all the villages that fall under the project area were demolished, except for 150 houses in Nagla Chhitar and Nagla Shareef. We are working to get funds approved so that we may pay the farmers’ the compensation amount,” said Singh.
