LUCKNOW, June 25 -- In one of its biggest enforcement drives in recent years, the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) on Wednesday sealed 71 establishments and issued notices to 83 others for operating in violation of building norms and safety regulations. The action comes in wake of the deadly Aliganj fire tragedy, signalling a citywide crackdown on commercial establishments functioning without mandatory compliance. Acting on the directions of LDA vice-chairman Prathamesh Kumar, enforcement teams conducted inspections across all seven zones of the city along with officials from the fire department and Lucknow Police. Coaching centres, libraries, dance studios, playgroup schools, blood banks, computer institutes, nursing homes, hotels and commercial complexes were among the establishments inspected, said officials. They said the drive will continue for the next three weeks, with special focus on buildings where commercial activities are being carried out without proper approvals. The highest number of sealing actions were reported from Gomti Nagar, Kanpur Road and Hazratganj. In Gomti Nagar, the enforcement team sealed nine coaching centres, including branches of prominent institutes. In the Kanpur Road and Krishna Nagar areas, 16 coaching centres were sealed and notices served to 16 property owners. The crackdown also triggered concern among commercial operators in prime business areas. In Hazratganj, 14 establishments, including coaching institutes, were sealed and notices issued to 20 building owners. In zone 5, five buildings were sealed while notices were served to 21 owners. In Krishna Nagar, Vijay Nagar and Manak Nagar, the authority sealed seven establishments, including a library, a coaching academy and a hotel found operating in buildings allegedly violating prescribed norms. Six more establishments were sealed in zone 4 and seven notices were issued. LDA officials said inspections were aimed at identifying unauthorized commercial activities, misuse of residential buildings and violations related to fire safety and building plans. The authority has warned that further action, including demolition and prosecution, could follow against repeat violators....
