The landowners claimed that despite the bulk of the registries being done five years ago the plots are still yet to be demarcated. Noida Authority officials familiar with the development told PTI that there is a possibility that demarcation exercise could start from next year onwards.

“An assurance for this was given to the plot owners during their meeting with Noida Authority officials following another protest on August 26,” officials told news agency PTI.

During the demonstration, dozens of protestors assembled around the 30 metre road between Sector 144 and Sector 145 with banners and placards. The protesters were urging the authority to earmark their plots and give them physical possession. The protestors also wore black bands around their arms to mark their grievance.
