Here are City Spidey's top five picks from the National Capital Region (NCR):
Noida
Homebuyers reach out to CM: After trying all avenues to get the possession of their flats, residents of Amrapali Sapphire knocked the door of Akhilesh Yadav. They made an appeal to the UP chief minister for redressal of their grievance. Earlier, they had made similar appeal to Mahendra Singh Dhoni through a hashtag campaign on twitter. The Team India captain is brand ambassador of Amrapali.
Odd-even off to an even start: The first day of the second phase odd-even drive in Delhi being a holiday passed off smoothly. With relatively less vehicles on the road, no traffic chaos was reported from the National Capital Region (NCR). As commuters from Noida, as also other satellite cities of the National Capital, were well aware of the fact that cars entering Delhi from NCR cities have no exemption from the rule, no driver from the city was booked by Delhi Police.
Ghaziabad
Spurt in road accidents: As many as 137 people lost their lives lost and 176 injured in 250 accidents on the city roads between January and March this year, according to traffic department records. In contrast to this, last year’s figures for the corresponding period stood at 73 deaths in 182 accidents. Traffic department cited poor condition of roads, dysfunctional traffic signals and lack of traffic cops among others as reasons for the spike in road mishaps.
NTPC seeks treated sewage: The NTPC has sought permission of the executive engineer of the Ghaziabad Waterworks Department to supply treated sewage from Ghaziabad sewage treatment plants to its Dadri plant 110MLD. The treated sewage is currently allowed to flow into the Hindon river. The corporation wants to use it for its operations in the Dadri plant.
Gurugram
Weeklong traffic diversion trial: Cars coming from Delhi will be stopped from using the left turn at the Signature Towers intersection on the expressway next week. MCG will oversee the weeklong trial. For alternate route, motorists will have to turn left into Leisure Valley road, just before the Signature Towers exit in order to reach the Signature Towers road.
