• District magistrates in Gautam Budh Nagar and Bulandshahr have launched detailed route surveys and directed stamp and registration officials to block land registrations within the notified alignment
• The 120 metre-wide greenfield expressway traverses 56 villages—8 in Gautam Budh Nagar and 48 in Bulandshahr—after its reduction from an initial 83 km to minimise displacement
