Transporters blame official apathy for ‘incomplete’ infrastructure in Transport Nagar

Even as civic issues mar Transport Nagar, residents and businesses with operations there alleged apparent indifference from officials to the area’s condition. Transport Nagar has been in the headlines after a three-storey building collapsed last Saturday, killing eight people and injuring several others. Another mentioned that Lucknow Development Authority’s promises of equipping Transport Nagar with better facilities remained unfulfilled. In December 2019, during a joint inspection carrying out by LDA and LMC, it was agreed that LDA would handle the repair of drains and roads in Mansarovar, Mansarovar Extension and Transport Nagar.
