LDA to build Rs.440-cr integrateddivisional office in Hazratganj
LUCKNOW, Nov. 30 -- The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) is set to construct a Rs.440-crore integrated divisional office in Hazratganj, bringing 63 departments under one roof. Six acres of land has been earmarked on Wazir Hasan Road, where a six-storey main building, a four-storey court block, and multi-level parking will come up.
During a review meeting held at the LDA's Parijat auditorium and chaired by divisional commissioner Vijay Vishwas Pant on Saturday, officials presented the project blueprint for the project. Pant directed that the building be designed in a way that reduces long-term maintenance costs.
According to LDA vice-chairperson Prathamesh Kumar, an architect firm Muralej, responsible for preparing DPRs for integrated divisional offices in Varanasi and Gorakhpur, has been tasked with drafting Lucknow project's DPR as well.
The integrated office will feature green-building components, and the main block will have six floors, including a basement and two-level podium parking. Adjacent to it, LDA will construct a four-storey structure housing courtrooms and record rooms, officials said. The commissioner instructed officials to fund construction by monetising land of departments shifting to the new complex.
Pant also reviewed the progress of proposed residential schemes -- Varun Vihar, Naimish Nagar, IT City and Wellness City.

He warned that delays under the Chief Minister Urban Expansion Scheme would not be tolerated and action would be taken against negligent officers.

He examined the ongoing drive against illegal construction and plotting, directing zonal officials to document sealing actions with photos, videos and measurements. He instructed that any fresh construction carried out after sealing must be demolished promptly....
