Greater Noida West: On a cloudy Sunday morning in Greater Noida West, the calm of Techzone-4 was pierced by chants demanding justice. Holding placards and banners, hundreds of residents—men, women, elderly, and even young children—marched together in protest from the gates of Amrapali River View Society to the nearby Gaur Laser Park, Phase 3. Their message was loud and clear: “We are done waiting.”
For months, even years, these families have lived with crumbling infrastructure, broken promises, and increasing frustration. What began as hope in a dream home has slowly turned into daily struggles—no proper parking, no park for children, no green space to breathe, and no functioning clubhouse despite full payments.
It is not just about the amenities now, it is about the dignity now. A matter of trust, which is broken.

Their main ire is directed at NBCC—the agency responsible for completing and maintaining the project after it was taken over post-Amrapali’s downfall. Residents claim that NBCC not only failed to provide basic amenities but also handed over the society’s designated green area to a private builder (Gaursons) for constructing another project—LP-3—at what they allege was a throwaway price. Many feel this deal needs to be investigated, as it hints at deeper rot.
Among the most alarming issues is the society’s unsafe infrastructure. With the arrival of the monsoon, lift shafts flood with rainwater pouring in from open lobbies.
The panels short out, Lifts stop working. We are just waiting for a serious accident to happen.
Mother of two, raising her voice with emotions
The community’s grievances are many. Despite being promised a parking space for every flat, hundreds of families are still waiting. Children play in cramped corners and dusty lanes, while the promised park and podium garden remain nonexistent. Not a single tree has been planted in the entire project area.
The clubhouse, which was supposed to be a centre for community life, stands locked and lifeless.
Repeated complaints, letters, and meetings with officials have yielded nothing but vague assurances. The final straw, residents say, was NBCC’s failure to even carry out basic repair and maintenance work. They are now demanding an extension of the Defect Liability Period (DLP) for at least one more year.
But this protest was not just a one-time outburst
This is just the beginning. We will protest every Sunday from now on. If they do not listen to our peaceful protests, the matter will escalate.
Organiser
For the families of Amrapali River View, the fight is not political or dramatic—it is personal. It’s about reclaiming their right to live with safety, dignity, and the amenities they were promised on paper.
And until those promises are fulfilled, they say, they will not be silent.
