NOIDA: The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) on Tuesday said it has reclaimed illegally occupied 60,000 square metres of land worth Rs 120 crore from encroachers after a demolition drive in the area.

“The demolition drive against the illegal construction was carried out by the local work circle team today. The team has freed about 40,000 square metres of land in Kheda Chauganpur and taken possession of 20,000 square metre land in Bisarkh, freeing it from encroachment,” GNIDA’s Officer on Special Duty (OSD) Himanshu Verma said.
The estimated market value of the two land parcels is Rs 120 crore, the officer was quoted as saying in the statement.
