Answering questions posed by the students, Singh urged them to look at the glass as half full rather than half empty while admitting that Noida has 'some serious problems to solve'.

Giving an illustrated plan to deal with the problems, Singh spelt out a series of measures including setting up of advanced surveillance system to deal with security issues and a new power plant being planned. Referring to the sanitation problem and piles of uncleared garbage at various places in the city, Singh said an elaborate plan for waste management is being prepared by the authority. 'We have identified dumping grounds where the non-biodegradable and non-recyclable waste will be dumped. However, 70 percent of the garbage is bio-degradable,' he said. sked about the sewage that poses a great health threat to Noida, Singh said that a case is being pursued against the Delhi government in the Supreme Court as untreated sewage from Delhi was the biggest problem. 'Noida's sewage processing rate is one of the highest in Uttar Pradesh as well as the country, with only 60 percent of its sewage being treated currently. Unfortunately, many of the drains that pass through Noida start from Delhi, and the only way to clean (them) is by forcing Delhi to treat its sewage before letting it into Noida,' he said adding that Noida will be in a position to treat 100 percent of its sewage by 2012. Talking about the law and order issues in the suburb, Singh said that advanced surveillance systems will be put in place soon to control the situation.

Talking about the endemic power woes of the suburb, Singh said that a new power plant with a capacity of 2,000 megawatts is in the planning stages and will be in operation by 2015. The Noida chairman also stressed the inclusion of peripheral villages within the city planning to ensure sustainable development. 'Sustainable growth is necessary, development of villages is essential. It is necessary to put forward their felt views and needs,' he added.

A long-pending proposal of the Uttar Pradesh government to set up a greenfield international airport at Greater Noida will come up for discussion before a Group of Ministers on Wednesday. "The GoM on Greater Noida airport will meet on June 16," Civil Aviation Minister Patel, who was ar Berlin to attend the International Air Transport Association Summit, has told PTI. The UP government wants the airport, proposed to be named as the Taj International Aviation Hub, to come up at Jhevar near Greater Noida which is about 60 kms from Delhi and 120 kms from Agra. Chief Minister Mayawati's government has identified 1,500 hectares for the project which is estimated to cost about Rs 5,000 crore and submitted a techno-economic feasibility report to the Centre. Source PTI   The GoM on Jhevar airport is headed by Home Minister P Chidambaram and has Law Minister Veerappa Moily, HRD Minister Kapil Sibal, Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh and Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel as its members. The matter had been discussed by an earlier GoM set up by the UPA-I regime which could not reach a conclusion. A major reason for this was the objection raised on the issue by the GMR-led consortium, Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) that operates the Delhi airport. It had cited its Operations Management and Development Agreement with the Airports Authority of India, quoting existing rules to say that no airport can be built within 150 km of the IGI airport at Delhi. However, the Union Cabinet''s clearance to a second airport in Goa at Mopa three days ago could pave the way for a similar clearance for the Greater Noida airport. The proposed Mopa airport is about 70 kms from the existing Dabolim Airport in Goa. Navi Mumbai in Maharashtra and Kannur in Kerala fall within a 150 km radius of existing airports at Mumbai and Kozhikode. However, the concession agreement also provides for a clause on the ''Right of First Refusal'' (RoFR) to the GMR-led consortium which enables it to be the preferred bidder for a new airport in the vicinity of the existing one. Airport consultants have wondered why this clause was included in the concession agreement if there was no legal provision for a second airport to come up within a 150 km radius unless the first one gets saturated. The legal issues have been examined by Attorney General Milon Banerjee, including on the RoFR clause, and a report submitted to the government. Sources said that the 150 km-rule was a major reason why the proposal for the Jhevar airport was held up so far and added that there was no other major stumbling block. "Across the world there are many airports within a 150 km radius of each other," they said giving examples of major cities like London, Paris and New York which have more than one airport within this range.   Uttar Pradesh Chief Secretary Atul Kumar Gupta Friday moved a fresh representation before the union civil aviation ministry seeking its clearance for setting up an international airport and aviation hub in Jewar village of Greater Noida. "The ministry has already given its go-ahead for parallel international airports not very far from the existing terminals in Goa and Kochi," he said.

Uttar Pradesh again pushes for airport at Greater Noida Armed with stronger documentation, the Uttar Pradesh government has again approached the central government with its proposal to set up an international airport in Greater Noida town, an official said Saturday. Uttar Pradesh Chief Secretary Atul Kumar Gupta Friday moved a fresh representation before the union civil aviation ministry seeking its clearance for setting up an international airport and aviation hub in Jewar village of Greater Noida, bordering the national capital. Referring to the central government's argument that a parallel international airport could not be allowed in the state within 150 km radius of the existing Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi, Gupta told IANS Saturday: 'We have sought to draw the union government's attention to similar exemptions given in Goa and Cochin.' 'The ministry has already given its go-ahead for parallel international airports not very far from the existing terminals in Goa and Kochi,' he said. In his letter to union Civil Aviation Secretary M. Madhavan Nambiar, the chief secretary pointed out: 'We have also carried out a fresh techno-feasibility report, as per your advice.' The report was prepared after a detailed survey by Larsen and Toubro - Ramboll Consulting Engineers Ltd. 'The report clearly points out that the setting up of a new international airport at Jewar would have only a marginal impact on air traffic at Delhi airport,' Gupta said. Besides relieving the pressure on Delhi airport, the proposed airport at Jewar is expected to be a boon for international tourists heading for Taj Mahal in Agra, he said. 'With the Taj Expressway likely to be completed this year, the driving time between Jewar and Agra would be reduced to less than an hour,' he claimed. Earlier in February, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati sent a delegation of 24 party MPs to meat union Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel to push the state's demand for the new aviation hub and airport. ,,,IANS
