Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath inaugurated the Varun Vihar and Naimish Nagar housing schemes of the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA), being developed over 10,680 acres at an estimated cost of ₹12,000 crore. He also laid the foundation stone for five multi-storey apartment projects proposed at a cost of ₹2,166 crore.
Approved under the Chief Minister Urban Expansion Scheme, the two new housing projects are aimed at supporting planned and modern expansion of Lucknow.
