Noida to soon host Dinosaurs - Know where

Noida News: The first Natural Trail of Artificial Zoo theme park is set to be constructed in Noida, near the Mahamaya flyover. The park will feature figures of dinosaurs, rhinos, crocodiles, pythons, monkeys, and birds made of scrap metal, and visitors will have access to food as well.

Built by Z Tech India Private Limited, the park will be modeled after a zoo and will cover an area of around 25 acres. The construction work is scheduled to commence on April 15, with an estimated cost of around 15 crore rupees. The park will be unique, as its concept will be based on 4D technology.

The park's movements and sounds will be created using the 4D concept, with this technique also being applied to the wild animals. While the animals will not be real, their reactions will be in no way inferior to those of real animals, with the figures having body movements and sounds like real animals. Visitors will be provided with a guide to ensure they have a fully informed experience. The park has been named Okhla Bird Century, and a link road will be constructed to connect it directly to the bird sanctuary, ensuring easy accessibility for locals.

The park will be developed under Recreational Green in an area of 25 hectares as part of the Master Plan 2031. Artwork will be made from scrap metal, with figures representing the ghats of Banaras, the ghats of Ayodhya, and other landmarks. About 500 tonnes of scrap metal will be used to create the various sculptures, with the iron being recycled at the plant before being turned into artwork for the park. Plastic waste will also be used in the park's construction.

The park will be located on the border between Noida and Delhi, near Kalindi Kunj in Delhi. It is easily accessible by metro, located opposite the Okhla Bird Sanctuary metro station. The company that builds the park will be responsible for its operation and maintenance for 20 years, meaning the Noida Authority will not have to spend any money on upkeep.

Noida residents react to ‘one sector, one RWA’ policy

Noida News: The Noida authority has recently announced plans to dissolve 30 Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) in the 30 sectors of Noida, which has caused panic among the affected RWAs. The authority has sent a letter to the Deputy Registrar of Meerut requesting action to end the existence of these 30 extra RWAs, as there are already 120 RWAs present for the 90 residential sectors in the city. The authority claims that these extra RWAs often create conflicts, which can lead to problems.

However, the RWAs have different opinions on the matter. Pulkit Gupta, general secretary of RWA sector 51 block A&B, stated that it is not easy for one RWA to manage a big sector like 51 and that every sector has different geographical structures and problems, which cannot be measured by a single parameter. He also said that they will check if the authority can dissolve a registered RWA according to laws.

Pulkit Gupta

Sanjeev Kumar, general secretary of RWA sector 51 block C, D, E & F, welcomed the decision of the Noida authority, but also stated that practically, it is not possible for a single RWA to manage a vast area like sector 51, which is around 4-5 km. He also blamed the Deputy Registrar for registering all the RWAs.

K.K. Jain, general secretary of FONRWA, said that technically, the authority was right and that there should be only one RWA in every sector to avoid chaos and contradictions between RWAs.

K.K. Jain

Abhishek Kumar, President of NEFOWA, disagreed and said that it was a wrong move taken by the authority as one RWA cannot manage a vast area alone. He suggested that the authorities should rethink the matter and that they would write a letter to the authority regarding this.

Laxmi Narayan, President of RWA sector 19, welcomed the decision of the authority and said that they have been demanding it. He also suggested that there should be only one RWA in the sector to make it easier to work and avoid contradictions between RWAs.

The authority has emphasized that in reality, there should be only 90 RWAs in the 90 sectors of the city, and action should be taken to end the extra RWAs in the city.

On Tuesday, the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) approved the construction of an international-level cricket stadium in Sector 150 of Noida. In addition to international-level cricket matches, IPL matches will also be played in this stadium.

The committee of the UP Cricket Association has approved the proposal for the construction of the stadium, which will be located near the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway. Once built, it will be the fourth cricket stadium in the state where international-level cricket matches can be played. Currently, there are two international-level cricket stadiums in UP, located in Kanpur and Lucknow. A new big cricket stadium is also being planned for Varanasi.

Apart from hosting international matches, IPL matches and domestic-level cricket matches will also be played in this stadium. The Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association has announced that the stadium will be ready within the next three years. Tata, Godrej, Birla and other developers have also been given the green light to build this stadium on March 17. The upcoming stadium will have all the international-level facilities and a seating capacity of 40,000 people. After Kanpur, Lucknow and Varanasi, Noida will become the fourth city in Uttar Pradesh to have an International Cricket Academy. The UPCA has already acquired all the land necessary for this project. Additionally, the association has expressed interest in building another stadium in Ghaziabad if the land is available.

Greater Noida already has a cricket stadium that has been recognized by the International Cricket Council (ICC). In 2016, the ICC gave its official recognition to the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Cricket Stadium located in Greater Noida. This cleared the way for organizing international matches, but so far, not a single international match has taken place in this stadium due to various reasons. With the construction of an international stadium in Noida, many international cricket matches, including IPL, will also be organized here.

Dwarka: LG launches Aapda Mitra programme at IP University

Dwarka News: “Role of Aapda Mitra at the time of disaster is very important as they are trained to respond for the purpose. Their help cannot be forgotten as they tender first help at the time of need”, said the LG of Delhi Vinai Kumar Saxena. He was speaking as a chief guest at the launch of the first batch of Apda Mitra training programme being conducted by IP University Dwarka on Tuesday.

He said that 50 – 60 % of the buildings of Delhi have been constructed in an unplanned manner due to the flux of urbanisation, and as a result of it, there was a risk of fire, and earthquake-like disasters. “Seeing these disaster perceptions, the role of Aaapda Mitra volunteers is really significant. We are trying to match other states in the field of disaster management. Aapda Mitra training is a part of this initiative,” said the LG.

He further said, the role of these trained volunteers was not confined to only disasters but expected their response to petty incidents like, road accidents, snatching, eve teasing, etc.

The LG also inaugurated the newly built ‘Atal Incubation Centre’ and ‘Auditorium – Cum – Placement Centre & Open Air Theatre’ of Dwarka campus of the University.

The Principal Secretary(Home), Govt. of NCT of Delhi Ashwani Kumar informed on the occasion, a total of 1,800 Aapda Mitra Volunteers are being trained as a part of this drive. 600 volunteers are being trained by IP University and the rest 1,200 volunteers are being trained by Skill Corporation of India to meet up any disaster needs of Delhi.

Throwing  light on the importance of the training programme the Vice Chancellor of the University Padma Shri Prof. (Dr.) Mahesh Verma said, “Delhi is not aloof from disaster perceptions like fire, flood, earthquake. Seeing these perceptions, the training programme is significant. Their role is really important as they respond before the arrival of any other response or help at the time of disaster.”

IP University will train 600 Aapda Mitra volunteers selected by Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA). The University will conduct this training programme in a phased manner. At first, the training programme for 100 such volunteers has been started today.

The duration of this basic intensive training programme is 12 days. The training module for these volunteers has been prepared by the Centre of Excellence in Disaster Management(CEMS) of the University with close coordination with DDMA. The training for the next batch will be started after the successful completion of training programme for the previous batch.

The University trained 5,000 ‘ Health Assistants’ for Delhi government at the time of Corona around two years back.

Aapda Mitra scheme was launched by National Disaster Management Authority in May 2016 with a focus on training of community volunteers with the skills that they would need to respond to their community’s immediate needs in the aftermath of a disaster thereby enabling them to undertake basic relief & rescue tasks during emergency situations such as floods, cyclone, earthquake, fire, etc.

The volunteers are trained on basic concepts of disaster management, disaster preparedness, search & rescue, fire safety, first aid, basic life support, snake & animal bites, etc.  Each of them is given an individual emergency responders kit which they can use during emergencies to help others. Apart from this basic training, they have undergone various refresher trainings & drills time to time as per requirements.

NDMA is planning to train one lakh such volunteers at 350 selected districts prone to flood, cyclone, landslide, earthquake, etc. at pan – the India level by the end of this year.

Good News: Noida Authority begins work on skywalk at Aqua Line metro

Noida News: After years of waiting, there is finally some good news for the straphangers of the Aqua line. The Noida authority has started construction on a skywalk that will connect the Noida Sector 51 metro station with the Sector 52 metro station.

This project is an important move by the authority as footfall is increasing daily in these two stations. Passengers using these two metros are increasing, so a proper interchange is necessary to reach one station from the other. Noida News

The skywalk will be a game changer for the passengers. Currently, daily travellers have to come out of the campus to change stations, but after the construction is complete, they will be able to walk through the skywalk to switch stations, making the process much quicker. Despite the NMRC providing rickshaw shuttle facilities between these stations, commuters still have to wait 5 to 10 minutes due to the increasing footfall between the stations.

The Aqua line Sector 51 metro station has nearly 17,000 daily straphangers while the Blue line Sector 52 metro station has 45,000 straphangers. Keeping this in mind, the Noida authority has started the construction of the skywalk. The skywalk will cost 9 crores and will be 5 meters wide and around 420 meters long. The deadline for completing the project is set for the 5th of October.

In November last year, the Noida authority floated the tender to construct the skywalk and awarded the contract to Iqbal Construction Co. The company has also started the construction work of the skywalk.

Ashutosh Kumar a daily commuter of this Aqua line and Blue line, told us that he currently has to come out of the campus to change stations and wait for 5-10 minutes for the rickshaw to arrive, or he has to walk 500 meters to reach the Aqua line. Due to this, he often gets late for work. He added that after the construction of this skywalk, it will be easier for him and others to travel between these stations.

We have made suggestions to the Chief Minister, and he has made promises, but nothing has happened so far.

Next Sunday, distressed homebuyers will send postcards to the Prime Minister to present their problems."

It is worth noting that on 12.12.2022, the Noida Authority issued a dog policy, mandating the registration of all pets located within its limits on the NAPR (Noida Authority Pet Reg.) app. The registration and renewal fee for pet animals in Noida Authority is Rs. 500/-. However, there is no fee for the registration of indigenous breed dogs.

The NAPR app also offers free anti-rabies vaccines along with 6 in 1 vaccine at selected agencies, including M/s Krishna Lifecare Veterinary Hospital in Sector-122, M/s Singh Pet Clinic in Sector-29, and M/s Maxvets Hospital Pvt. Ltd. in Sector-50 Noida, among others, as per the authority's instructions.
