The Uttar Pradesh Government will develop ‘State Capital Region’ in Lucknow along the lines of the Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR) keeping in mind the future requirements related to urban planning.
Key points
- State Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath gave directions in this regard during a review meeting of the Housing and Urban Planning Department, Housing Development Council and all urban development authorities.
- The pressure of the population is increasing in the neighbouring districts as well and there are complaints of unplanned development at times. Keeping in view the needs of the future, Uttar Pradesh State Capital Region should be formed on the lines of the NCR.
- Lucknow and its surrounding districts like Unnao, Sitapur, Rae Bareli, Barabanki, Kanpur Nagar and Kanpur Dehat could be included in the SCR.
