Domestic land near Gomti Barrage to turn commercial


The UP government is all set to give its formal nod to change in land use of reclaimed land between the Gomti barrage and the eight-lane bridge. The 8 acre of land would soon have its land use changed from open space to commercial.
The Lucknow Development Authority has already given its approval to the change in land use and the matter is set to be put forth before the Housing and Urban Planning department of the state government soon.
The once degraded land has turned into a precious plot after the irrigation department constructed a bandha along the Gomti. As per the proposal put forth by the land acquisition wing of the LDA, the land is shown as an open space in the Masterplan-2021. ‘‘Disposing this land with the present land use would not fetch enough revenue. The land could instead be used as commercial as the area around it has high commercial activity,’’ the proposal put forth by joint director (land acquisition), LDA, S B Mishra said.
The proposal further said that reclaimed land between La Marteniere and the eight-lane bridge is proposed to be converted into a open space and green belt for which the state government would be required to spend Rs 100 crore. The proposal added, “This amount can be recovered if the reclaimed land between Gomti Barrage and eight-lane bridge is disposed after converting its land use into a commercial one”.
Interestingly, this piece of land appears to have become the axis around which all development activities in the area spin. To begin with, the connecting bridge — between Lohia Path and Tilak Marg — along the land is being widened. Likewise, a six-lane road close to it is being constructed at a swift pace. The two roads would certainly ease the traffic situation, admitted well-placed officials in LDA. The proposed construction of a Barrage further downstream of the Gomti is the latest addition. The said reclaimed land is downstream of the Gomti Barrage, which controls the flow of river. Often, the water current along the stretch is too feeble making the river view pathetic. But once the new Barrage comes into existence and the Gomti Barrage becomes redundant, the water current along the stretch would be good enough, bettering the view.
In fact, the new Barrage is believed to be constructed some six kilometer downstream, in what officials claimed was part of the Gomti river front development project.
