The Noida Kisan Sangharsh Samiti on Tuesday officially called off its agitation after receiving a written assurance of the “agreements” made on July 30, signed by Noida Authority CEO Balwinder Kumar.
At a meeting between the Noida Authority and 16 village heads on Saturday, farmers from 54 villages in Noida were promised 5 per cent land — in the form of developed plots — in three months. Additionally, they were assured that the abadi (residential) land, where villagers currently reside, would be regularised.
Despite calling off the agitation, Samiti members said they would monitor the activities of the Authority, and take to the streets if the promises were not fulfilled within a month.
The samiti is an umbrella organisation of farmers and village pradhans in Noida.
“We have been assured that all the villages will be given 5 per cent developed plots in three months. At least 15 villages should get them by August 30,” said Mahinder Awana, organisation spokesperson. “If not, we will speak to the authorities and take to the streets again.”
