The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) will develop two major housing projects, including Udyog Nagar on the Agra Expressway and Naimish Nagar in Bakshi Ka Talab (BKT), to provide residential and infrastructure facilities to over three lakh people. These schemes, proposed under the Chief Minister Urban Expansion Scheme, aim to drive large-scale development in sectors like industry, health, education and logistics, while also creating new employment opportunities in the state capital.
Officials presented detailed plans for both projects during a high-level review meeting chaired by housing and urban planning department secretary Balkar Singh here on Friday. Singh directed LDA officials to re-examine the schemes and prepare a detailed action plan within a week so that seed capital could be sanctioned from the Chief Minister Urban Expansion Fund.
