Noida’s construction landscape is under fire following the death of an engineer at a Sector-150 site, where two builder companies now face FIRs for negligence. The Noida Authority’s inability to collect a whopping 3,000 crore in dues has come under sharp criticism, highlighting deeper governance issues.
Eyewitness accounts reveal a site bereft of essential safety measures—no barriers, no alerts—setting the stage for the tragedy. Allotted a decade ago for Sports City, the plot saw blatant misuse as builders subdivided and sold it off, violating allotment terms and sabotaging public projects.
With CBI and ED now investigating the land scam, questions swirl around complicit officials who allowed work to proceed unchecked. The authority’s lax approach not only forfeited billions but also endangered lives, as this fatal lapse demonstrates.
Experts call for immediate reforms: mandatory safety audits, swift dues recovery, and zero tolerance for rule-breaking. Families of workers demand justice, while the incident serves as a wake-up call for safer construction practices across Uttar Pradesh. The probe promises to uncover more irregularities in this high-stakes sector.
