LUCKNOW, May 7 -- Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) will be developing a new township on 5,610 acres along the Agra Expressway for which land will be acquired from 12 villages in Sadar and Sarojini Nagar tehsils of this district, officials said. The project will be executed in two phases-1,893.93 acres in the first and 3,716.14 acres in the second. The site is located near Agra Expressway and a few minutes away from Kisan Path. LDA vice-chairman Prathamesh Kumar inspected the proposed site on Tuesday along with a joint team from the acquisition, engineering, and planning departments, according to a press note. During the visit, he directed officials to prepare a detailed project report and layout plan for phased development. The township is proposed to be developed as per international standards, with planned facilities including a world-class hospital, Ayurvedic medical centre, and educational institutions.

During his visit to Anant Nagar, Kumar instructed engineers to speed up construction by increasing the number of labourers and machines. He also directed them to complete the demarcation of the scheme's outer boundary to prevent future land disputes.
