Lucknow, Dec 25 (SocialNews.XYZ) Continuing its crackdown on illegal construction linked to mafia don-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari, the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has sealed the New FI Hospital, owned by Siraj Ahmed, who, according to officials, is a close aide of Ansari.
The LDA also initiated the demolition of illegal structures in the parking area of the FI Tower, another property owned by Ahmed.
This decisive action comes after the LDA earlier issued a notice declaring two floors of the FI Tower, comprising 24 flats and one penthouse, as illegal. The notice also highlighted violations of building norms in the New FI Hospital.
Following the notice, the LDA moved on Sunday to seal the New FI Hospital and commence the demolition of illegal parking structures at the FI Tower. The demolition was carried out under heavy security, with LDA vice-chairman Indramani Tripathi personally overseeing the operation.
The LDA also registered an FIR against Ahmed, along with his associates Shoaib Iqbal, Monis Iqbal, and Michael, at the Kaiserbagh police station for violating building norms. While Monis Iqbal has already been arrested and jailed, authorities are actively searching for Siraj Ahmed and Michael.
Tripathi, meanwhile, said, “The crackdown on the illegally constructed building will continue as per the rules. This action is part of our drive against such construction.”
