The Noida Authority had banned cycle rickshaws on six main roads — Master Plan road numbers 1, 2 and 3; Udyog Marg; DSC Road; Noida-Greater Noida Expressway and Sector 18 market — from October 1. The weekly markets were banned in September.

Though shared autorickshaws were also banned on five routes, but a court has stayed the ban on two routes.

"Weekly bazaars have been banned without making any alternative arrangement. Consequently, Noida residents are not able to get fresh vegetables and fruits,” said N.P. Singh, president, FONRWA.

“The other outlets have been exploiting the situation and selling vegetables and fruits at very high prices.Furthermore, senior citizens and ladies are experiencing inconvenience in travelling to the shops located at distant places for purchase of their daily use items. The vendors who were operating in weekly bazaars, have got unemployed.”
