LUCKNOW, Dec. 17 -- As Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate the Rashtra Prerna Sthal in Vasant Kunj here on December 25, the Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) has begun making arrangements to accommodate an estimated 2,500 buses and four-wheelers. Around 1.5 lakh visitors from Lucknow and adjoining districts are expected to attend the event. Although the 65-acre Prerna Sthal complex has in-house parking facilities, officials said these would be inadequate to handle the expected rush. Municipal commissioner Gaurav Kumar said, "The presence of both the Prime Minister and the chief minister at the same venue demands flawless arrangements. Parking facilities are being developed in a manner that ensures visitors do not face any inconvenience." He added that officials were making all-out efforts to ensure the Prerna Sthal was fully prepared to host the event on December 25. The LMC, in coordination with the LDA, is identifying and developing more than eight parking spaces along key approach roads to venue. Officials said nearly 1.5 lakh square metres of additional parking space would be required. The civic body is also focusing on maintaining seamless civic services across the city. The municipal commissioner has divided the entire route into five sectors. In addition, Jal Sansthan has been instructed to deploy at least 80 water tankers at various locations in and around the venue. htc...
