In April, the new admin office for the Noida Authority will open
The office is meant to provide better services to the public because all of the Authority's departments will now be housed in one facility instead of separate ones.
Officials stated on Sunday that the Noida authority's main administrative building in Sector 96 is ready to use and would be opened next month.
The office will provide better services to the public because all of the Authority's divisions will now be housed in the same building. Officials claimed that the office will be easier to get to from different parts of Noida and Greater Noida, as well as from nearby locations.
"We have finished building and finishing this new building... We want the building to open next month and the office to start moving so that the departments may move to the new office. SP Singh, the general manager of Noida authority, said, "The authority wants to provide better services and have better interaction with the people who come to work there."
The project was once supposed to have two towers with 18 and 9 stories, but the design was changed later. The present plan is for two towers, one with four floors and one with eight floors, on a six-acre property. Officials added that the new cost of the project is now ₹390 crore, down from the original estimate of ₹478 crore.
Right now, the offices of several departments and work groups of the Authority are spread out throughout several areas.
NP Singh, head of the Gautam Budh Nagar District Development Residents Welfare Association, said, "People from all walks of life have to go to the Noida authority for property and civic issues from different sectors and villages." The authority's main office is in Sector 6, the horticulture department is in Sector 39, and the Jal department works out of Sector 5 for now. People will benefit greatly from the new office once it is up and running.
The administrative office in Sector 6 is small and doesn't have a lot of parking space, which is important. Officials claimed that visitors typically park their automobiles and motorcycles on the side of the road, which makes the area crowded.
The office building started on January 5, 2016, and the first deadline for finishing it was January 2, 2019. They further said that the project was delayed because of the Covid-19 outbreak and problems with the contractor.
In 2022, a new contractor was given the rest of the civil works after the first contractor failed to finish them.
The Authority also asked the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi to do a structural safety evaluation while the work was on hold. The Institute's assessment from December 2024 pointed out problems with structural parts like walls, beams, and pillars and suggested ways to fix them.
Officials said that the requested improvements have now been made.
