Lucknow Development Authority to examine graveyard site
LUCKNOW: A day after
residents of Gomtinagar entered into a heated argument with local
villagers over existence of a grave in Gomtinagar (phase-2), the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has decided to get the site examined.
On Tuesday, a host of villagers under the aegis of Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) thronged the LDA office demanding renovation of graveyard. The site, situated in Vinamr Khand, has its land use earmarked as graveyard in the city master plan. It was following insistence of the villagers that the LDA constructed a boundary wall at the site. However, residents objected to the move saying that existence of a graveyard in the vicinity of a residential colony was not proper.
The BKU leaders, however, continued with their demand and even handed over a representation to the LDA officials including its vice-chairman, Rajeev Agarwal and secretary, Ashtbhuja Tewari.
