During a review meeting of the Housing and Urban Planning Department, the Chief Minister expressed concern over allegations that the Ansal Group had defrauded homebuyers. He asserted that the government would not tolerate such malpractices and instructed officials to take stringent action against all responsible officers within the company.
The CM further emphasized that any district where the Ansal Group has been found guilty of defrauding buyers must promptly register FIRs against the company. To ensure effective legal proceedings, he ordered the formation of a joint committee consisting of affected buyers and the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA).
