Chief minister Yogi Adityanath cuts the ribbon to inaugurate the registration of plots for Varun Vihar and Naimish Nagar schemes
Lucknow: Registration for 3,010 residential plots in Lucknow Development Authority’s Varun Vihar and Naimish Nagar schemes opened on Thursday after chief minister Yogi Adityanath inaugurated the two housing projects. The schemes, spread over 10,680 acres, are part of LDA’s planned development of new residential townships on the city’s outskirts. Last date for registration is Oct 24. Varun Vihar, planned near Agra Expressway on Mohan Road, comprises 1,926 plots, while in Naimish Nagar, along Sitapur Road-IIM Road corridor, there are 1,084 plots. LDA fixed the land rate in Naimish Nagar at Rs 3,800 per sq ft, compared with Rs 2,500 to Rs 2,700 per sq ft in Varun Vihar. Chief minister also laid foundation stones for five apartment projects with a combined estimated cost of Rs 2,166 crore. Lake View Apartment in Viraj Khand, Gomti Nagar, will have 646 three-BHK-plus-servant flats, while Park View Apartment in Sector-J, Basant Kunj, will have 364 such flats.
The authority said the higher rate in Naimish Nagar was linked to the higher price paid for land acquired from farmers. Registration began on LDA’s website after chief minister performed bhoomi pujan at Dona village near Agra Expressway.
