Noida : Noida is known for its shining roads, modern infrastructure, and growing skyline. But hidden behind this glitter lies a stark reality—several colonies near Parthala Gol Chakkar like Radha Kunj, Bhumi Green, Ambedkar City, Krishna Kunj, Sai Enclave and Unnati Vihar are still struggling for the most basic facilities.
In Radha Kunj and Bhumi Green, the condition of roads is so poor that residents joke there are no potholes on the roads; instead, there are roads inside the potholes. Despite paying hefty stamp duty, taxes, and buying land registered as “residential,” residents are denied essential facilities like proper roads, electricity, and water supply.

Politicians often assure solutions, but reality remains unchanged. Residents are forced to run from the doors of MLAs to MPs, receiving nothing but promises and new dates. Authorities conveniently dismiss their demands by branding these colonies as “flood-prone zones,” yet the same land is freely sold and registered by the government. Developers face no real accountability, and illegal plotting continues unchecked.
The irony is bitter, while residents contribute to the nation through taxes and remain active in development, their own lives are stuck in neglect. Many families have invested their lifetime savings in building homes, but instead of pride, they live with a sense of betrayal.
NGOs, trusts, and social activists have repeatedly raised these issues, but their voices vanish into silence. The people of Radha Kunj and Bhumi Green don’t demand luxuries; they only ask for roads, electricity, and safety. Yet, in the so-called “Mini Japan of India,” they are left to battle broken roads and darkness every day.
The question remains, how long will Noida’s shining image continue to overshadow the struggles of its neglected colonies?
