Here! It became, was the gift Arthla Metro, Gzb.

अर्थला मेट्रो का विस्तार गाजियाबाद के बस स्टैंड तक हो नोएडा सेक्टर-62 से लालकुआं, महरौली तक ट्रैक पर दौड़े मेट्रो सीआईएसएफ, इंदिरापुरम तक भी आए मेट्रो वैशाली से वसुंधरा होते मोहनगर तक मेट्रो गाजियाबाद। दिल्ली-लखनऊ के बीच कभी हां, कभी ना में फंसे सेकेंड फेज मेट्रो प्रोजेक्ट पर मुख्यमंत्री अखिलेश यादव की ‘हां’ ने गाजियाबाद के लाखों लोगों की बांछें खिला दी हैं। नई सरकार के मूड को देखते हुए अर्थला के बाद नया बस अड्डा, गाजियाबाद तक मेट्रो विस्तार की संभावना बढ़ गई है। इतना ही नहीं, वैशाली मेट्रो के वसुंधरा होते हुए मोहनगर तक लाने का रास्ता भी अब साफ होता नजर आ रहा है। इस रूट पर जहां मेट्रोमैन ई श्रीधरन पहले ही हामी भर चुके हैं, वहीं एनसीआर बोर्ड ने भी सब रीजनल प्लान-2021/2031 में इसे शामिल कर लिया है। उधर, शासन के सकारात्मक रुखसे कुछ ऐसे ही उम्मीदें नोएडा सेक्टर-62 से सीआईएसएफ, लालकुआं, महरौली तक मेट्रो एक्सटेंशन को लेकर भी पैदा हो गई हैं। दरअसल, एनसीआर प्लानिंग बोर्ड ने एनसीआर में जनसंख्या विस्फोट, गाड़ियों की बढ़ती तादाद और कम होती जमीन को देखते हुए हर तरफ मेट्रो विस्तार की सिफारि...

Electricity poles with high tension wires in a pool of sewer water sounds dangerous; but this is a reality. This green belt is located on a 25-meter-wide road between National Highway-24 and Nyay Khand-I. The sewage water from Khoda village and high rise buildings, which are located nearby, gets accumulated in this green belt as the new drain, which was developed by the Ghaziabad Development Authority for disposing sewage water, is broken at many places. "The authorities are not doing anything to ease the situation. Once on complaining about the issue to the GDA, we were assured that water would be pumped out from the belt. But it didn't help as when they tried to pump out the water, it accumulated again and again. The electricity, which passes through these poles, is of 33000 volts. A major mishap can occur any time. Authorities should think and act as soon as possible," said Sudhir Mishra, president, Indirapuram Purvanchal Samiti.  Some residents also suggest that if a...
