An airport spokesperson said the administration was requested to help in the removal of four to five meat shops that were located near the airport. Their removal was mandatory from a security point of view, he said.
Responding to the request, the divisional commissioner directed LMC officials to take cognisance of the said meat shops and ensure their immediate removal. Also, LMC officials were asked to get stray dogs in the area sterilised.
In the meeting, airport officials said the city police commissioner had been requested ban laser lights and kite-flying within 10 km of the airport. Regarding this, Jacob asked officials to coordinate with the police department so that prompt action could be ensured in the matter.
LDA officials pulled up
Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) officials were on Monday pulled up for neglecting the removal of encroachments on government land in Sector-A of the Basant Kunj Scheme.
On Monday, Jacob issued fresh instructions to LDA to clear the encroachments, and warned that strict action would be taken against both encroachers and officials if action was not taken immediately.
The divisional commissioner had visited the Basant Kunj project site on June 13, when she had ordered the immediate clearance of land occupied by mafias.

Lax civic officials to pay fine, face salary cut over mess spotted during inspections

1 2 Lucknow: Acting tough against lapses in cleanliness initiatives, the Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) on Wednesday imposed fines, ordered salary deductions and issued warnings to lax officials and contractors. The move came after officials carried out inspections in several areas under zones 5 and 8. In Vrindavan Sector 8, the inspection team, led by additional municipal commissioner Arvind Kumar Rao and zonal officer Ajit Kumar Rai, found garbage scattered on roads, workers absent or not in uniform, and designated dustbins missing from the area. The residents of the area reported that door-to-door waste collection was irregular. The waste segregation rules were also being violated. Taking action on these lapses, LMC fined Rs 1 lakh on the agency in charge, Lion Enviro Pvt. Ltd., and issued a stern warning against repeat violations. Another inspection, headed by additional municipal commissioner Arun Kumar Gupta, revealed similar issues across Sunder Nagar, Natkheda Road, and Guru Nanak Nagar Ward of zone 5. A fine of Rs 50,000 on Lion Enviro and one-day salary deductions were recommended for both a sanitation inspector and a Lion Enviro supervisor for neglecting duties. Municipal commissioner Gaurav Kumar said, "The city's sanitation standards are non-negotiable. Agencies and officials will be held fully accountable."
