Lucknow Development Authority to demolish illegal structures in Lucknow

LUCKNOW: To check the rampant unauthorised constructions across the city, Lucknow Development Authority vice-chairman Rajiv Aggarwal has instructed executive engineers to start immediate demolition of unauthorised constructions and illegal structures. They have also been asked to provide photocopies of the sanctioned maps of various housing projects to people, if demanded, as per the Information Act 2005.

The vice-chairman held a meeting on Tuesday with the executive engineers to initiate an effective drive to prevent unauthorised constructions in the city. “In order to make people aware of various constructions happening in their area, it would be mandatory for the engineers to provide photocopies of the sanctioned maps of that multistory buildings or group housing societies if required by them. This would help them to know if the construction is legal or not,” said Aggarwal.

Aggarwal added that executive engineers who would delay in providing maps copies would be taken to task.
