NOIDA: Despite the enforcement of Stage IV of the Graded Response Action Plan (Grap) to curb air pollution, violations of environmental norms persist in parts of Noida, residents alleged on Monday.

Locals in Sector 51 reported illegal dumping of construction materials like dust and sand near Gate Number 11 and C-Block Park. "The open dumping of dust and sand near Gate 11 is a serious issue. It not only blocks access to public spaces but also adds to the already poor air quality in the area. We urge the authorities to act swiftly before the pollution worsens further," said Rajesh Gupta, a Sector 51 resident.
