Dear Mr Saxena, -What I have just read is music to my ears . It is great to see that there ARE some people who are concerned with the rampant irregularities being committed by the residents here-----and like you rightly pointed out,being neighbour's ,people decided to remain silent . But let me put a question to you---to what purpose did people decide to remain silent . When the first one encroached on govt land meant for pedestrians,no one took notice . Then the neighbour,seeing that their is no protest,did the same and the rest is history . If you see in Ward-7,on the Mall road side,litterally every inch upto the road has been occupied ; some have created a garden,others a shed for their cars and so on & so forth. If you go to Sec 31 from sec 29,people on both sides have created huge gardens,almost 400/500 sq ft area in front of their houses and barricaded it . While the gardens look good,for an ordinary man walking on the street,a man who does not have access to vehicles, not even an inch of space is left on which he could walk,with the result that he has to walk on the road . The thing to be noted here is that it is the rich,people who do not lack any comfort,who are the culprits. What the Noida Authority is doing is anybody's guess . I'm sure it knows the huge encroachment but has chosen to remain silent . It will wake up only when the Supreme Court admonishes it for its lackadaisical,irresponsible attitude . But it sure shall happen one day and when the demolitions occur,these very people are going to cry hoarse. I have read several write-ups of residents commenting about airtel issues or connectivity problem;all that is fine and should be pointed out but why is there no protest about the excessive encraochment on land meant for pedestrians,is really surprising ; arre bhai,aisa bhi kya bhai-charra. I strongly believe in the idiom--deir hai,anndheir nahin ; lets wait for the judgement day. Have a small request to all who read this piece---kindly forward to all possible so that a cry is raised against this rampant encroachment on common man's rights.
