Jewar residents struggle to climb 25-foot slope for bus access to Noida airport

Key Takeaways

  • Diwan Singh and Santa Devi navigate a dangerous 25-foot slope daily to reach public transport on the Yamuna Expressway.
  • The Noida International Airport, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has not improved local transportation for Dayanatpur residents.
  • Villagers face a perilous journey on the expressway, where the speed limit is set at 100 km/h with strict pedestrian restrictions.
  • The absence of reliable public transport forces Dayanatpur residents to risk their safety just to access basic services.
  • Elderly villagers and those with health issues are particularly endangered by the steep climb to the expressway.

Residents of Dayanatpur, village in Jewar tehsil of India,face perilous conditions just to reach public transport . Diwan Singh and wife Santa Devi,both in their forties, tackle a risky 25-foot slope covered in loose stones to access Yamuna Expressway. This daily trek is their only way to catch a bus to Aligarh,their hometown.

Recent opening of Noida International Airport by Prime Minister Narendra Modi hasn't improved local transport. Instead,villagers must risk safety on expressway,where speed limit is 100 km/h and pedestrian restrictions are tight. And without reliable public transport,options are scarce.

For many there,struggle to access basic services is daily reality. The steep climb is a real danger,especially for elderly or those with health issues. Airport's presence does little to change lack of adequate bus services. Community's mobility and safety remain at risk…
