Lucknow: Traffic congestion near the district court, collectorate and Swasthya Bhawan is expected to ease soon as a
multi-level parking facility
in Kaiserbagh is nearing completion.
Built at a cost of Rs 16.5 crore under the
Smart City project
, the facility will cater to about 250 four-wheelers and 100 two-wheelers on its two designated floors.
During recent inspection,
municipal commissioner Gaurav Kumar
had directed officials to expedite the remaining work and make the parking operational at the earliest. He also instructed the speedy completion of the commercial shops being built within the complex. Officials said the parking facility will reduce traffic congestion on three major roads where haphazardly parked vehicles on both sides have been causing blockages.
The construction began in 2021 and includes modern features such as better lighting and basic amenities. During his visit, Kumar found that the drains near the Kaiserbagh bus stand and the old high court were blocked and instructed workers to clean them using machines. He also gave the same instructions for the blocked drains near Registration and Excise Department. At Balrampur Hospital blood bank and KGMU Limb Centre, he asked for thorough cleaning of drains, removal of encroachments and safety equipment for sanitation workers.
The commissioner warned that any carelessness in cleaning or maintenance work would not be tolerated and that all tasks must be finished within deadline.
