Similarly, the projects undertaken by 3C such as Boulevard, Panache and Zing are running behind schedule, as are many others initiated by other companies. The builder claimed that one of the biggest factors for the delay was the agitation for higher compensation by farmers whose land had been acquired. As Anil Sharma, CMD of Amrapali, pointed out, a number of his company's projects on the Noida Expressway was affected by protesting farmers who descended on the roads several times between 2011 and 2014. The air of uncertainty caused by these protests kept potential buyers away.
