Marking Gautam Budh Nagar’s next green initiative campaign pedestrian paths in various parts of Noida are now being painted red. A team of 10 workers armed with wipers, brushes and buckets of red paint drew a cycle track logo on a portion of the existing pavement along the main road. In other parts of the district, red and green signages, carrying a cyclist’s image, declared the red path as a “cycle track”. (Express Photo by Tashi Tobgyal)

Lakhmi Singh, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP)’s Gautam Budh Nagar district president said “The entire project is a huge scam. The common man’s money is being wasted on this cycle track project. Do you see even one cyclist using these tracks? Now, they have painted it red which, we all know, is the Samajwadi Party’s (SP) colour. Elections are around the corner. The SP is using public money for its own campaign. They are advertising their party’s symbol and flag. These cycle tracks have been laid near the Yamuna Expressway." (Express Photo by Tashi Tobgyal)
