Dated on: Sunday 7th May 2023

The destruction of farmhouses in Noida's Sector 135 has been put on hold by an order from the Allahabad High Court to the Noida Authority. These buildings are said to have been constructed on the Yamuna River floodplain. The court set the next hearing for the week of July 2, 2023, and directed the Noida Authority and the National Mission for Clean Ganga to submit rebuttal affidavits. The judgement attempts to postpone the farmhouses' destruction until further notice.
