A six-member team of Gautam Buddha University conducted a survey in Karoli Bangar, Kureb, Mundhera, Birampur, Dayanatpur and Ranhera villages of the district from June 1. Land acquisitionThe Rehabilitation and Rehabilitation Act, 2013 submitted its report to the district administration on 25 September.
“We have submitted our report to the district administration. Our observations and observations have been mentioned in the report and will be examined by the authorities. The villagers are aware of the opportunities the (airport) project will bring to the area and are ready to give their land,” Vivek Kumar Mishra, the team’s nodal officer and head of the department of political science and international relations at the university, told TOI.
He said the team completed its field tour by August 31 and started preparing the report after that.
About 1,185 hectares (ha) of private land is to be acquired from six villages as part of the second phase of construction.
A total of 1363.45 hectares will be handed over to a subsidiary of Zurich AG, which is developing it Noida Airport, for the second phase of the project.
On Saturday, Additional District Magistrate (Land Acquisition), Balram Singh said, “The SIA report will be examined and its findings will be shared with the state government for further processing. We will finalize the schedule of public hearing in a few days.
The public hearing, to compile the objections and suggestions of the affected villagers, is expected to begin from October 10.
According to sources, the survey team had to face some resistance in Karoli Bangar village, while a section of the surveyed population expressed apprehensions about displacement.
“The families who have been shifted from the six villages acquired in the first phase to the resettlement and resettlement township at Jewar Bangar have not responded very positively. Though everyone is ready to give up their agricultural area, it will take some time to convince them to move out of the village to some other place,” said an administrative official who studied the SIA report.
Officials said that Karoli is located very close to Bangar village, Yamuna Expressway.
“People here feel that once the area is developed, their village land will also cost a lot,” said an official.
About 230 people live in the village, of whom over 50% have opposed the idea of moving out.
The study was led by Professor Bandana Pandey of Gautam Buddha University to assess and sketch the socio-economic profiles of the villagers affected by the project and the impact on their livelihoods.
Other members of the SIA team included faculty members RK Srivastava, Om Prakash, Amit Kumar Awasthi and Anand Pratap Singh.
