The Noida authority on Tuesday sealed an illegal housing project that was built in Wazidpur area and where the developer was selling apartments to gullible homebuyers.
NOIDA: Earlier, the authority through a public notice had warned the public not to buy property in that project as it was being built without getting the layout map approval by the authority's town planning department, officials said.
The authority also demolished illegally built structures on 150 acres of land in the flood-plain area of the Hindon river. The authority freed up 150 acres in Sorkha village, and it is valued at approximately ₹480 crore. The developers were illegally developing housing projects there and had started constructing boundary walls to sell the housing plots, said officials.
