Noida Authority, which will supervise the land acquisition and development works in the area. The officials have been directed to start the land acquisition process. Soon, we will hold

Land measuring 209.11 sqkm across 80 villages from the Gautam Budh Nagar and Bulandshahr districts has been notified for this. Of these 80 villages falling under the DNGIR area, 
63 are in Bulandshahr while the remaining __ are in GB Nagar.
