LDA bylaws for compounding to benefit many
Lucknow: The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) will now allow approval of compounding maps under the newly implemented Model Building Construction and Development Bylaws and Model Zoning Regulation-2025. Compounding is a process to make buildings legal if they were built without approval or in violation of the original plans. This move would benefit property owners who undertook construction earlier by allowing them to regularise their buildings under the new rules. LDA vice chairperson Prathamesh Kumar issued this directive during a Janata Adalat held at the authority's headquarters. Zonal officers have been assigned specific targets for mitigation map approvals—ranging from 75 to 220 maps per zone—to streamline the process and avoid delays. The new regulations increase the permissible land coverage and FAR (Floor Area Ratio). The VC emphasised the need to prioritise mitigation approvals in the public interest.

LDA to develop industrial township along Agra e-way
Lucknow: The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) will develop an industrial township along the Agra Expressway for which it held a meeting with farmers at Dona village in Kakori on Friday. The meeting, attended by village heads and district panchayat members from 12 identified villages, focused on land acquisition. LDA joint secretary Sushil Pratap Singh said the industrial township will be developed over 5,610 acres in Sadar and Sarojininagar tehsils, covering villages like Bhalia, Adampur Indwara, Bahru, Jaliyamau, Madarpur, Ibrahimganj, Naktaura, Gehalwara, Tejkrishna Khera, Rewari, Sakra and Dona. The plan includes residential facilities for over 2 lakh people and is expected to boost investment and create largescale employment in the industrial, health, education and logistics sectors. Farmers raised demands for infrastructure such as internal roads, drainage, health centres, schools, parks, cremation grounds and water bodies, which LDA agreed to consider. Concerns over land record errors and illegal plotting by some property dealers were also addressed, with officials assuring corrective measures and action through joint teams. The plan is being finalised under the Chief Minister Urban Expansion Scheme, and LDA is engaging directly with villagers to ensure smooth implementation.
