The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) is planning to reclaim land from a privately developed colony in Kaliya Kheda village for its new Anant Nagar housing project on Mohaan road.

LUCKNOW: However, residents from approximately 35 homes are standing their ground, saying they have been living here for a decade.

LDA officials claimed that the privately developed colony has been built on land earmarked for the new housing project and said they plan to vacate the area and provide compensation to the residents. The residents are refusing to move, claiming they have documents to prove their ownership.

"We have legal documents that show our possession on the land isn't illegal. How can they remove us?" asked Santosh Kumar Sharma, a resident of Kaliya Kheda. The residents claimed that the matter is sub judice and any forced eviction would be a violation of their rights.

During HT's visit to the area on Wednesday, it was found that the private colony has around 35 houses along with several vacant plots on the said land. The LDA had on June 13 allotted 334 plots to allottees through its lottery in the first phase of its scheme.

"We will ensure proper compensation is given. The colony will be vacated as per legal procedures," said an LDA official.
