Parks and Paths Decay: Noida Residents Voice Alarm

Residents in Greater Noida are expressing significant concern regarding the declining state of public amenities across several key areas. Sectors like Xu 3, Beta 1, and the central Pari Chowk are notably affected by poorly maintained green belts, footpaths, and parks. The overgrowth of dense grass on footpaths, as highlighted by residents, cultivates fears of encountering poisonous creatures and snakes, necessitating urgent cleaning and leveling. Similar issues plague the roundabouts and central verges throughout the city, with some adopted spaces remaining neglected despite resident complaints.

The once vibrant greenery around Pari Chowk, a focal point for the city, has been replaced by overgrown bushes, dry grass, and litter. This neglect has led residents to question the commitment of the horticulture department and express bewilderment at the apparent indifference towards these vital public spaces. Despite repeated appeals, the condition of these areas continues to worsen. Officials have responded by stating that revitalization work is slated to begin soon, promising a comprehensive makeover for the Pari Chowk area and other affected zones.
