District magistrate Vishakh G, who on Friday inspected the under-construction Saumitra Van on Ayodhya Road, issued instructions to this effect. The development work will be executed jointly by Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) and Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC).

During his inspection, the DM ordered that protective casings be installed on both riverbanks before constructing pathways. He also instructed officials to ensure coordinated execution between departments to maintain uniformity across both sides of the Kukrail River.
