Residents across several Noida sectors have approached local authorities seeking relief from demolition and sealing notices issued for minor home extensions such as verandah enclosures and small structural additions.
- The notices, served under Section 10 of the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Area Development Act, classify these additions as unauthorised constructions. However, residents argue that the changes are non-structural and practical modifications made for safety and usability.
- A local MLA has reportedly assured interim relief, stating that no new notices will be issued until a revised policy is framed to address minor home modifications and regularisation norms.
This issue highlights the need for balanced urban regulation —one that enforces compliance without penalising genuine homeowner needs.
