Synopsis
Key Takeaways
- One-month drive to address infrastructure issues.

Noida, Nov 7 (NationPress) In a significant initiative to enhance the fundamental infrastructure in the densely populated village regions of Noida, the Noida Authority has initiated a one-month special campaign aimed at improving sewer management, sanitation, water supply, and road maintenance.
A comprehensive review meeting was convened on Friday under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Lokesh M, where extensive discussions were held regarding issues related to drainage systems, sewer lines, garbage disposal, and public hygiene.
In the initial phase, the improvement drive will encompass nine villages — Baraula, Sadarpur, Chhalera, Gijhore, Sarfabad, Salarpur, Morna, Yakubpur, and Bhangel. Key resolutions were established to ensure visible outcomes within a month.
A thorough cleaning campaign of sewer lines and manholes will be executed across all nine villages. To mitigate sewer overflow, small sump wells and pumping sets will be installed in locations frequently reporting overflow, preventing sewage from spilling onto roads. Smaller sewer pipelines will be upgraded and connected to larger ones following population surveys, and mini sewage pumping stations (SPS) will be set up on the outskirts of villages.
The Public Health Department has been instructed to finalize the desilting of all drains within one month. Areas prone to waterlogging will receive special cleaning drives along with bleaching powder treatment to manage sanitation issues. Damaged drains and clogged pipelines will be repaired without delay, and where residents have obstructed drains with ramps or stairs, those will be removed with public cooperation to facilitate deep cleaning.
To enhance solid waste management, the number of door-to-door garbage collection vehicles will be increased according to village population. A cow dung management plan will be implemented in areas with significant cattle populations, including proposals for biogas plants or other sustainable solutions.
Garbage piles on vacant plots and outer village areas will be cleared, and warning boards will be erected to deter illegal dumping. All vendors will be mandated to maintain double dustbins, and waste collection vehicles will operate two rounds daily in each village.
The Authority has stressed that this initiative is not solely focused on cleaning activities but aims for permanent solutions to civic problems. Officials will closely monitor each task to ensure completion within the designated timeframe.
Senior officials, including Additional CEO Krishna Karunesh, Special Officer Mahendra Prasad, and General Managers A.K. Arora, S.P. Singh, and R.P. Indu Prakash, were present at the review meeting along with other departmental heads.
