Greater Noida West : Residents of Ace Aspire society in Greater Noida West have raised serious concerns over what they describe as a severe dengue situation, with more than 200 cases reportedly being recorded in the society.
The situation has become particularly concerning during the ongoing monsoon, with several families reportedly affected by dengue and fever. We have sought urgent intervention from the health authorities, Greater Noida Authority and other concerned agencies to identify mosquito-breeding sites and strengthen preventive measures.

Residents point to adjoining NBCC construction
Residents have raised particular concerns about the ongoing construction work at an adjoining NBCC project. They allege that construction-related areas may have stagnant water and other conditions conducive to mosquito breeding.
The adjoining construction project is a major concern and alleged that adequate proactive measures have not been taken to prevent mosquito breeding.

The allegation that the construction project is directly responsible for the reported dengue cases, however, has not been independently established. A detailed inspection by the competent authorities would be required to determine whether the site has mosquito-breeding conditions and whether it is contributing to the situation.
Residents say follow-ups are underway
Residents said they have already approached officials regarding the situation. According to them, the General Manager and Assistant General Manager have been contacted and have assured support. A letter has also reportedly been sent to the Senior Manager, Health, Greater Noida Authority, seeking intervention and preventive measures. Residents said they are continuing to follow up with the concerned authorities and agencies for mosquito-control measures and action at potential breeding sites.
Doctor reportedly attending to patients
Residents also said that Dr Khalid, who lives in Ace Aspire, has attended to a large number of patients from the society amid the reported increase in dengue cases. Residents say the situation has created considerable anxiety among families, particularly those with children and elderly members.
Residents seek preventive measures and accountability
Residents are seeking intensified anti-larval treatment, fogging and inspection of water-logging and mosquito-breeding points within the society and surrounding areas. They have also questioned what action or penalties can be taken if construction sites or other premises are found to be violating mosquito-control and public-health requirements. The residents’ concerns come at a time when dengue prevention requires coordinated action between housing societies, construction agencies and civic health authorities. Identification and elimination of stagnant-water sources remain an important part of mosquito-control efforts.
Residents have urged the authorities to conduct an immediate inspection of Ace Aspire and the adjoining construction site, determine the factors contributing to mosquito breeding and take appropriate action wherever violations are found.
Health Department intensifies dengue surveillance
The concerns at Ace Aspire come amid heightened dengue surveillance across Gautam Buddh Nagar during the monsoon season. The health department has intensified inspections to identify mosquito-breeding sites in high-rise societies and other vulnerable locations. Areas being inspected include basements, parking areas, construction sites, rooftops, plant pots, coolers, water tanks and other locations where stagnant water can accumulate.
According to reports, the health department has issued 15 notices after mosquito larvae and stagnant water were found at different locations. The department’s preventive approach is focused on identifying and eliminating breeding sites, as fogging alone cannot address the source of mosquito breeding.
Dengue mosquitoes can breed in clean, stagnant water
Health experts have repeatedly warned that the Aedes aegypti mosquito can breed in relatively clean stagnant water. Therefore, dengue prevention is not limited to cleaning dirty drains or sewage areas. Water collected in flower-pot trays, coolers, buckets, tyres, containers, water tanks and construction materials can also provide breeding grounds. This makes regular inspection of high-rise societies particularly important, especially during the monsoon when even small amounts of accumulated rainwater can remain unnoticed.
Health Department appeals to residents
The health department has urged residents to ensure that water does not remain stagnant inside their homes or in surrounding areas.
Residents have been advised to:
- Change cooler water regularly
- Clean flower pots and their trays
- Prevent water accumulation on rooftops and balconies
- Check buckets, containers and other water-holding objects
- Ensure that water tanks remain properly covered
- Report mosquito-breeding sites to the concerned authorities
- Cooperate with health teams during inspection and anti-larval activities
Society managements also have an important role to play in maintaining basements, parking areas and common spaces and ensuring that potential mosquito-breeding sites are promptly addressed.
Four societies were issued notices in October 2025
The health department has previously taken action against housing societies after finding stagnant water and mosquito larvae. In October 2025, four societies in Noida were reportedly issued notices after inspections found mosquito larvae and water accumulation. The current surveillance drive has once again brought high-rise societies and construction sites under greater scrutiny as health officials seek to prevent the spread of vector-borne diseases during the monsoon.
The immediate priority is prevention
With residents reporting more than 200 dengue cases, Ace Aspire’s situation warrants close attention from the concerned health and civic authorities. At the same time, the exact number of confirmed cases and the alleged connection with the adjoining construction project need to be independently established.
For a high-rise community, dengue prevention requires coordinated action. Residents must eliminate stagnant water around their homes, society management must monitor common areas and authorities must inspect potential breeding sites and take action wherever violations are found.
The current situation underlines one simple priority: identify every possible breeding site, eliminate it quickly and ensure that residents receive clear and verified information about the steps being taken to control the situation.
What residents are seeking
Residents of Ace Aspire are seeking:
- Immediate inspection of the society and adjoining construction areas
- Identification and removal of stagnant-water sources
- Anti-larval treatment at potential breeding sites
- Regular fogging wherever required
- Inspection of the adjoining NBCC construction site
- Regular monitoring of basements, parking areas and common spaces
- Greater coordination between the society management, health department and civic authorities
- Clarification of the actual number of confirmed dengue cases in the society
- Appropriate action if any violation contributing to mosquito breeding is established
Residents seek action and accountability
Residents of Ace Aspire are now seeking a comprehensive inspection of the society as well as the adjoining construction areas.
Their demands include intensified fogging and anti-larval treatment, removal of stagnant water, inspection of the adjoining construction site and regular monitoring of potential mosquito-breeding locations.
Residents are also questioning what enforcement or penalty provisions can be invoked if an inspection establishes that any construction site, establishment or other premises is allowing conditions that promote mosquito breeding.
At present, however, any responsibility or liability would need to be determined by the competent authorities after inspection and verification of the facts.
A situation that needs immediate attention
With residents reporting more than 200 dengue cases, the situation at Ace Aspire has raised serious concerns and warrants close monitoring by the health and civic authorities.
The immediate priority is to identify and eliminate every potential mosquito-breeding site, particularly stagnant-water points in basements, common areas and adjoining construction zones.
While the reported number of cases and allegations concerning the adjoining NBCC project require official verification, residents’ complaints highlight the need for prompt inspection, preventive action and transparent communication.
For a high-rise community where hundreds of families live in close proximity, dengue prevention cannot be limited to individual households. Effective control requires coordinated action by residents, society management, construction agencies and the concerned government authorities.
Note: Apartment Times seeks clarity and verified information on reported dengue cases
The reported dengue situation at Ace Aspire has raised serious concerns among residents, with residents claiming that the number of cases has crossed 200. Given the seriousness of the matter and its direct connection with the health and safety of residents, Apartment Times attempted to independently verify the information before reporting the issue and sought responses from the concerned AOA and authorities.
When Apartment Times contacted AOA General Secretary Sonesh Gaur, he was asked to provide the exact number of reported dengue cases in the society and copies of the letters or representations submitted to the concerned authorities. He declined to share the exact figures and documents and instead asked Apartment Times to approach Bisrakh police station for details of the cases. He also declined to provide the contact details of other AOA office-bearers, including the President, stating that Apartment Times should arrange the President’s number independently, just as it had obtained his contact number. He further suggested that documents or other information be obtained from the President or other sources.
This response was particularly unexpected because residents had indicated that the AOA would be in a position to provide relevant information about the situation. Apartment Times approached the AOA precisely because an official representative of the society is in a better position to clarify the number of cases, the steps taken by the association and the representations made to government authorities.
Apartment Times had agreed to approach Bisrakh police station for case-related information. However, when the publication subsequently sought copies of the letters submitted to the authorities, those documents were again not provided and Apartment Times was directed to obtain them from other sources. For a news organisation attempting to verify information before publication, such a process makes it considerably more difficult to establish the facts directly from the authorised representatives of the affected society.
Verification is essential in a health-related report
It is important to make a clear distinction between information reported by residents and figures officially confirmed by a competent authority.
A figure shared by residents can indicate the seriousness of a situation and deserves attention, particularly when a large number of people claim to be affected. However, such a figure cannot automatically be presented as an officially confirmed dengue count without supporting medical or government records.
For the same reason, any claim that the reported dengue cases are directly linked to the adjoining NBCC construction project also requires verification through inspection reports, evidence of mosquito breeding, waterlogging assessments or findings from the relevant health or civic authorities.
Apartment Times therefore sought information not to undermine the concerns raised by residents but to establish the facts and ensure that the report is fair, accurate and responsible.
Apartment Times stands with residents
Apartment Times remains committed to reporting genuine concerns raised by residents and stands with residents when they seek attention to issues affecting their health, safety, rights and quality of life.
At the same time, supporting residents does not mean publishing every allegation or figure without verification. Responsible journalism requires us to ask questions, seek documents, contact the concerned parties and give them an opportunity to respond.
Our objective is not to create problems for any AOA, resident, authority or organisation. Our objective is to ensure that genuine concerns reach the appropriate authorities and the public with the facts clearly presented.
Apartment Times also respects the decision of any resident or AOA representative who does not wish to participate in media coverage. We do not believe in repeatedly contacting or pressuring people who have clearly indicated that they do not want to provide information or be part of a report.
However, when an issue is brought to the media with a request for coverage, cooperation in providing basic factual information and supporting documents can significantly help in ensuring accurate reporting.
Apartment Times remains open to receiving relevant documents, official figures, inspection reports and responses from the AOA, health department, Greater Noida Authority, Bisrakh police or any other concerned stakeholder. Any credible information received will be considered for inclusion or updating of the report as appropriate.
Our commitment remains simple: to stand with residents, ask the necessary questions, verify the available facts and report the matter fairly without favouring any individual, AOA, authority or organisation.
Residents deserve to be heard. They also deserve accurate information. Both are equally important.
