The discussions led to an agreement on the colour and design of buildings, signage, street furniture, bollards, and electric poles, all aimed at giving Hazratganj a refreshed appearance.
According to officials, the changes will reflect the Awadhi style with minor adjustments to the colour of the buildings. The implementation of facade control guidelines is expected to enhance the market's heritage appeal, potentially attracting more tourists.
Traders have been encouraged to comply with these guidelines and assist in organising signage and removing haphazard hoardings.
Lucknow Development Authority vice-chairman Prathamesh Kumar said that the beautification plan includes the installation of cast iron railings, wooden finish benches and double-arm street lights. Pathways will be organised, and attractively designed dustbins will be placed strategically. Electric poles on the central verge will be removed and replaced by street lights installed on both sides of the road.
The meeting was attended by officials and engineers from Lucknow Municipal Corporation, PWD, Lucknow Metro, and Jalkal among other departments.

Vizhinjam port: State govt to decide on cloverleaf interchange within a month
Thiruvananthapuram: The state govt is expected to take a final decision within a month on the proposed cloverleaf interchange at Vizhinjam port approach road and NH 66 intersection. The detailed project file was handed over to public works department (PWD), which will issue the required govt order soon. Once approval is granted, the Vizhinjam International Seaport Limited (VISL) will initiate proceedings to acquire nearly 30 acres for the project, with an estimated cost of Rs 360 crore. Earlier, a high-level meeting chaired by fisheries special secretary Abdul Nazar, who is in charge of ports, examined the proposal and concluded that the interchange was essential for the smooth movement of trucks and trailers, especially when gateway cargo operations begin at the port. As per the decision taken in the meeting, the four-loop cloverleaf will be executed jointly — National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will construct two loops and the remaining two will be built by Adani Vizhinjam Port Private Ltd (AVPPL), the private operator of the port. The land acquisition cost will be equally shared by state govt and NHAI. A senior official close to the port development stated that a portion of govt land earlier earmarked for a truck terminal would also be used for the cloverleaf project. "We plan to use the truck terminal land in a way that serves both the interchange and the logistics infrastructure. It will strengthen the overall port ecosystem," the official said. Meanwhile, a crucial meeting chaired by chief secretary is scheduled for Monday to discuss port-led industrialisation around Vizhinjam. The meeting will also deliberate on VISL's proposal to acquire land for developing supporting infrastructure such as warehouses, container freight stations and logistic parks. These facilities are expected to boost the operational efficiency of the seaport and support economic activity in the region. In another key development, VISL identified a site near railway line between Neyyattinkara and Parassala stations to establish a railway container terminal. However, discussions are still in the preliminary stage, and no final decision has been made. According to officials, a temporary 1.7km road connecting the port to NH 66 was already under construction to support initial cargo movement, expected to start later this year. Land acquisition for the temporary road was completed, and it is expected to function as an interim solution until the full interchange becomes operational. The port's gateway cargo phase is expected to be launched by the end of 2025, but delays in infrastructure approvals could push this timeline further. Industry experts have supported the cloverleaf design over earlier proposals like a trumpet interchange, citing better traffic handling and long-term utility. The port authorities and govt alike view the cloverleaf project as critical to ensuring seamless cargo flow and unlocking the full potential of the Vizhinjam port.
