LUCKNOW, Nov. 18 -- The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) on Monday carried out an anti-encroachment drive in Gomti Nagar Extension area and removed more than a dozen illegal dairies, huts, roadside shops and temporary structures from Sector-1.

These activities routinely caused waterlogging and spread garbage in the locality, and caused inconvenience to commuters. With assistance from the LDA's own force, the team demolished the structures and cleared the roadside. Officials said some families living in makeshift huts requested additional time to vacate.

Officials removed temporary structures such as six carts, three kiosks and four counters....
