Ranhera Village to Boycott Lok Sabha Poll as Airport Expansion Looms

Ranhera, a village in Gautam Buddha Nagar Lok Sabha constituency, will boycott the upcoming Lok Sabha election due to an impending dislocation caused by the expansion of the Noida International Airport. The villagers are worried about losing their livelihoods and being forced to relocate to smaller plots of land. The Draft Master Plan-2041 prepared by the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) envisions a sustainable and well-connected city around the airport, but the villagers are skeptical about the promised benefits. They point to the experiences of residents from nearby villages who have already been relocated and are now struggling to find jobs.
