History
The land under the Noida limits was initially under the Bulandshahar District (approx. distance 37 km), but was later transferred to the Ghaziabad district (approx. distance 16 km). Later still, Noida was made into a separate administrative zone as a separate district by Chief Minister, Mayawati. This decision of the Mayawati government came under review from the next government of Mulayam Singh Yadav, who reversed it in 2003, and remerged Noida with Ghaziabad. After a period of some 9 months, the decision was reversed yet again in 2004 and the city was once again made into a separate district. There were some allegations of political favour-currying through low-priced land deals due to these decisions. Presently, the city is a separate district, called Gautam Budh Nagar, with administrative HQ at Dadri, a nearby town. However, the highest government official, the District Magistrate (DM) stays in Noida. The city falls under the Noida-Dadri legislative assembly seat (Vidhan Sabha) and Khurja Parliamentary seat (Lok Sabha).

Demographics Spread across 203.16 km², Noida today has a population of more than 500,000, about 50% of whom commute to Delhi daily, solely for the purpose of work. Noida has a large expatriate population of migrant labour from Bihar despite Uttar Pradesh itself being the largest contributor of immigrants to rest of India (census 2001). Many instances of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh living in the city have been detected, but political pressure ensures that most of these remain in the city. These elements along with other local criminal gangs and syndicates are generally held responsible for the crimes in the city.

Sports and other infrastructure In 2005, the city was under focus for a Noida Half Marathon which did not live up to its expectations and the city's maiden international exposure, the Queen's Baton Relay for the Commonwealth Games. The city currently boasts of a stadium, which is being upgraded to international standards for the 2010 Commonwealth Games, some of which are likely to take place in Noida. It is for this reason that Noida has been put on the fast track for another prestigious project, i.e. the Delhi Metro. The Metro which was slated to enter Noida in 2012 has now been planned for 2009, a year before the games in 2010. Noida will be connected to the CP station, via the Barakhambha Road-IP Estate-Akshardham Complex link. A part of this link is expected to open on 11th November, 2006. Work is on full swing on the rest of the stretch, in Delhi as well as Noida. Modern-day marathon runners For other senses of this word, see Marathon (disambiguation). ...

In 2006, the Noida Authority has taken up the job of widening and re-metalling of roads, a long overdue exercise. This has led to some loosening of pressure on the choked roads of the city.
Miscellaneous Property rates, as a consequence, are on the rise in the township. Land rates which were in the Rs. 3,000-15,000/m² range till about 5 years ago have soared to Rs. 30,000-85,000/m². The Noida Authority came under fire recently, for their controversial decision to build the world's tallest building, thereby putting Noida on the world map. However, the decision was shelved, after protests from citizens through the media, as the city does not have the infrastructure to handle a 1 km tall building. Noida comes under seismic zone 4, which along with loose soil and sand of the Yamuna river bed, means building collapse in an earthquake situation is a distinct possibility. It was felt that the city needs to focus on improving water quality, security, traffic management and power problems before looking at grandiose projects of little real value.
