Lucknow Development Authority seals neta’s ‘illegal’ apartment

LUCKNOW: The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has sealed an under-construction residential building being developed by a former MP and erstwhile BSP leader because it allegedly flouts the sanctioned plan.
According to LDA officials, the former MP was given permission to raise a single-floor housing unit in Wazirganj, but he had instead constructed a six-storey apartment. “After we came to know of the irregularity, notices were served to the promoter on several occasions.He was asked to stop construction work and demolish the illegal portion,” said LDA executive engineer Kamaljeet Singh.
“Since the person concerned did not comply with the order within stipulated time, we sealed the building on Thursday. The illegal part of the building will now be demolished,” Singh added.
