Encroachment Removal Drive Dated: 26.02.2026
With the objective of ensuring smooth and jam-free roads as well as accessible public spaces in the Noida region, the Noida Authority has been undertaking daily action against unauthorized and illegal vendors, carts, and temporary structures operating along roadsides and other public places. The initiative is aimed at providing residents with congestion-free streets and maintaining orderly civic infrastructure across the city. In continuation of this plan, an encroachment removal drive was conducted on 26.02.2026 in areas falling under Work Circles 1 to 10 of the Noida Authority.
The enforcement action was carried out by the designated encroachment removal squads deployed by the respective work circles. The teams operated in a coordinated manner to clear public land and road margins from illegal occupation, thereby restoring smooth vehicular movement and pedestrian access in the identified locations.
Areas Covered Under the Drive
On 26.02.2026, encroachment removal action was undertaken in the following areas:
Near Sab Mall
Shakumbhari Market
Barola
MP-3 Road
Chhalera, Sector-44
Sectors 57 and 58
Phase-2
Village Kondli
Sector-49

In these locations, unauthorized vendors and illegally stationed carts occupying road edges and public spaces were removed. The drive focused particularly on areas where encroachments were causing traffic congestion, inconvenience to commuters, and obstruction to free public movement. The action was implemented in accordance with the Authority’s established enforcement procedures.
Objective of the Encroachment Removal Initiative
The primary objective of the ongoing encroachment removal initiative is to make roads and public places in Noida accessible, orderly, and free from congestion. Unauthorized occupation of public land and roadside areas often results in traffic bottlenecks, disruption of pedestrian pathways, safety risks, and operational challenges for emergency services. By conducting regular removal drives, the Authority seeks to prevent such disruptions and ensure that civic infrastructure remains functional and efficient.
It has been observed that complaints regarding unauthorized vendors and illegal encroachments are frequently received from multiple sources. These include members of the general public, Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs), the Federation of Noida Residents Welfare Associations (FONRWA), industrial organizations, and other community groups. The volume and consistency of these complaints underline the seriousness of the issue and the need for sustained administrative action.
Regular and Continuous Enforcement Plan
In response to ongoing grievances and field assessments, the Noida Authority has adopted a structured and continuous enforcement strategy. Under this approach, encroachment removal action will be carried out on a daily basis across different sectors and villages within the Authority’s jurisdiction. The initiative is designed not merely as a one-time drive but as a long-term mechanism to prevent the recurrence of illegal occupation of public spaces.
Work Circles 1 to 10 have been instructed to maintain vigilant monitoring within their respective areas and to ensure prompt action wherever unauthorized vendors or illegal structures are identified. The enforcement teams will continue to conduct inspections and remove encroachments to maintain smooth traffic flow and public convenience.
The Authority has emphasized that maintaining discipline in public spaces is essential for orderly urban development. Residents, vendors, and commercial establishments are expected to comply with regulations and avoid occupying roadsides or public land without proper authorization. Strict and regular action will continue to be taken to safeguard public interest and maintain civic order.
The Noida Authority remains committed to ensuring that roads and public places within its jurisdiction are safe, accessible, and free from congestion through consistent and systematic enforcement efforts.
