As per the information received, the situation in the colony has deteriorated to the point where it is now worse than nearby informal settlements.
In simple words, residents are forced to live in hell-like conditions. This sector is in dire need of support and attention of authorities to provide basic civic services.

A decade-long delay in the maintenance takeover alleged
Residents also claim that under the original development agreement, the authority was supposed to take over maintenance of the colony within one year of project completion. However, they allege that the takeover has still not taken place even after more than a decade.
Because of this delay, infrastructure in the area has deteriorated significantly over time.
Residents seek intervention from civic authorities
Residents have urged civic officials and the associations to intervene and ensure that the Greater Noida Authority provides essential infrastructure and maintenance services in the colony.
They hope that collective action will help restore basic civic facilities and improve living conditions for families residing in the area.
