Just days before Holi, residents across Alpha, Beta and Delta sectors are grappling with serious civic issues, including mounting garbage, leaking pipelines and waterlogged roads. Locals say the poor sanitation situation is dampening the festive mood and posing health risks.
Uncollected household waste as well as construction debris has been lying on roads for days, creating foul smells and unsanitary conditions. RWAs allege that garbage collection has become irregular, forcing residents to navigate through trash-strewn streets.
Garbage Left Unattended for Days
Pramod Bhati, president of Delta-1 RWA, said sanitation services have deteriorated significantly.
“Waste is left unattended for days. With temperatures rising, this could lead to disease outbreaks and mosquito breeding,” he warned.
Residents fear that continued neglect could trigger serious public health concerns.
Holika Dahan Site Also Dirty
In Habibpur near Ecotech-3, locals pointed out that the designated Holika Dahan ground remains unclean despite repeated complaints.
“Festival sites should be cleaned first, but the area is still full of garbage,” residents said, adding that poor arrangements could affect celebrations and safety.
Persistent Water Leakages Add to Trouble
Multiple water pipeline leaks have worsened the situation across sectors:
Beta-1: Major leak in Ganga water supply line for over 15 days
Alpha-2: Leak near metro pillar causing waterlogging and traffic disruption
Broken sewer lines adding to foul smell and hygiene risks
Residents say the continuous leakage is wasting water and damaging roads.
Horticulture Waste, Sewage Issues Reported
Apart from garbage and leaks, locals also flagged:
●Unattended horticulture waste in green belts
●Blocked drains and sewage overflow
●Waterlogging in several low-lying areas
These problems have made daily movement difficult for pedestrians and motorists alike.
Authority Promises Action
Officials from the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) said complaints have been noted and action will be taken soon. However, residents insist that urgent intervention is needed before the festival.
