There has always been a perception that the law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh is bad as compared to Haryana, and that is why most companies prefer to move to Gurgaon (Haryana) rather than Noida & Greater Noida.
From The Hindustan Times Dated September 23, 2008
This perception has shockingly turned to reality as workers in Greater Noida lynched, and beat to death, Lalit Kishore Choudhary (47), CEO and India-head of the Rs 360-crore Graziano Transmissioni India Pvt Ltd.
Noida & Greater Noida face a strong perception of weak enforcement of law and order.
The propensity to violence in Uttar Pradesh (including Noida & Greater Noida) is one major reason why the real estate investors in residential and commercial projects prefer to invest their money in Gurgaon (Haryana) compared to the other towns in the NCR (National Capital Region) area.
