Lucknow Fire Tragedy: 2016 Demolition Order Revoked, LDA Under Scanner
A devastating fire in a multi-storey building in Lucknow has put the Lucknow Development Authority under intense scrutiny. The building, which housed a pet shop, veterinary clinic, library and gaming studio, had faced a demolition order in 2016 over alleged unauthorised construction-but the order was revoked within months. The tragedy has now triggered demands for accountability and a political blame game between the BJP and Samajwadi Party.
