Ghaziabad: Wave City, poised to become India’s largest hi-tech township, is facing resistance fueled by disruptive elements operating in the name of farmers. These groups, unwilling to see the rise of a well-planned city in the region, are allegedly using small farmers as a front to push their own agendas.
Strategically located with excellent connectivity through the Eastern Peripheral Expressway and the Delhi–Meerut Expressway, Wave City has become a preferred choice for people moving away from congested urban areas. This growing interest has irked local agitators, who resort to protests—sometimes outside Wave City and at other times at Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) or other government offices—even though the project is progressing strictly as per government and GDA norms.
Repeated demands for additional compensation are largely baseless. Farmers were compensated according to regulations, enabling Wave City’s smooth construction. Launched in 2009–10 under the state’s Hi-Tech Township Policy, the project envisioned tech-integrated housing and vast green spaces. Though farmers’ protests once slowed progress, subsequent court rulings cleared the path for development, sparking renewed demand from buyers.
The township’s appeal stems from its eco-friendly design, focus on safety, and affordability, making it attractive to middle-class families seeking modern amenities. Planned by globally acclaimed engineering firms, Wave City has emerged as a landmark project—not just for Ghaziabad, but for the entire nation.
