Farmers join protest against landfill

NOIDA: Over 100 protesters gathered outdoor the district collectorate in Surajpur and at MLA Pankaj Singh's administrative center in Noida on Monday in protest in opposition to the newly designated spot for waste plant in Sector 123. Residents from Sectors 117 to 122 and neighbouring villages handed over their petition to district magistrate's representative in the collectorate.


"We have bought homes here from our hard-earned money and we have every right stay in a clean environment," mentioned Pankaj Agarwal, a resident of Gaur Grandeur apartment, Sector 119. According to Satte Pradhan, village head of Behlolpur, "We will not allow the authority to act like a dictator. We have our ancestral homes in this region and we will not tolerate unhealthy environment around it."


The protest was joined via the youth wing of Bharatiya Kisan Union alleging meagre reimbursement. "Most of our land has been taken by the authority without adequate compensation. In this case, they plan to create dumpsite in a residential area which is not only hazardous for residents but detrimental to all neighbouring land value in the region. We cannot allow this to happen," mentioned Ravi Yadav from BKU's youth wing.


While MLA Pankaj Singh didn't remark at the topic mentioning its subjective nature, a delegation from the protestors handed over their petition to his administrative center later in the day.
