LDA demolishes Aliganj building where fire killed 15
LDA demolished the illegal Aliganj commercial complex in Lucknow, as owners failed to complete the demolition by the deadline.
The three-storey building at plot MS-102 had a fire on June 25, 2026, that killed 15 people.
The property was originally approved for residential use in 2014, but owners converted it to commercial use, violating regulations.
LDA issued a notice under Section 27(1) of the UP Urban Planning Act, and after hearings, declared the building illegal on July 10.
Owners were given 15 days to demolish but stopped work after starting on July 20; LDA completed demolition on July 25.
