Greater Noida West, or Noida Extension in popular parlance, is a case study in how a high potential property market suffers from years of systematic plight. Reason is more political apathy than administrative callousness, and the home buyers in this part of the world are waiting for basic services like Underpass, Metro Rail, Foot Over Bridge among others for around a decade now. A micro market with around a million (10 lakh) vote bank, taken together voters of high-rise apartments & adjoining villages, is part of Gautam Buddha Nagar Lok Sabha constituency. Ravi Sinha finds that the citizens in this part of the world have no one but themselves to blame for having allowed elected representatives to treat them as taken for granted voters.
