Lucknow - The City of Nawab's

Lucknow - Muskuraaiye Janab aap Lucknow mein hain ... !

8 Outstanding Developments in Lucknow which will surely make you Proud!

MUSKURAAIYE KI AAP LUCKNOW MEIN HAIN….!

From Kababs to people, Lucknow is a city which will never disappoint you in food and the respect you get from the people here. The moment you hear a person addressing himself with a “hum”, or calling you by ‘Aap’, you realise the city he comes from.

The only complain we Lucknowite ever had was the places to hangout (except eating), colleges for higher education and finally landing up with a job here in this city itself. Finally after a long wait, we are seeing rapid development in the city! Here are 9 developments which will make all Lucknowites proud!

1. Lucknow Metro

No more traffic jam, no more changing autos and buses. All the people living in  and around Indira Nagar will soon be able to visit Alambagh and vice versa. The 6kms priority stretch is near completion and the construction on underground stretch at Hazratganj will start soon.

2. Gomti Riverfront

Have you been to the London Eye? Well, you don’t need to now, in a few months from now you will see our own Giant Ferris wheel at the Gomti Riverfront. Installed lamp posts and fountains is already attracting a large number of people. According to the government sources, the 14km Gomti Riverfront will be operational this December.

3. Agra – Lucknow Expressway

The 308-km long Agra – Lucknow Expressway will be the longest and the fastest greenfield expressway in India. According to the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, the expressway will be inaugurated and  open for public in October, 2016. This will not only connect the state capital to the city of Taj but it will also bring Delhi closer. If you are currently living in Delhi, don’t bother to book your return Diwali ticket through rail, road trip will be a better option.

JANESHWAR MISHRA PARK-AIREAL VIEW 

4. Shaan-E-Awadh

Lucknow’s own CP is soon to open near Shaheed Path, the 56 acre ultra-chic shopping-cum-multi functional hub, will have some biggest brands of the world. So all the shopaholic’s its time so save money!!!

5. International Cricket Stadium

LUCKNOW METRO - ON PROGRESS

7. Cycle Track

We might not respect it, we might feel that its useless to develop cycle tracks in a city like Lucknow and rub it off as a political party symbol but the developing city like Lucknow needs to safeguard the people walking on the sideways or riding a bicycle. Students still pedal their way to school and these cycle tracks are here to give them a safe path.

FIGHT BETWEEN CM AND LU STUDENTS

8. Development and Renovation near Clock Tower

All the development attention is drawn towards Gomti Nagar area but old Lucknow is also seeing some outstanding renovation and development projects, be it the renovation of Imambara, Rumi Darwaza or the development near Clock Tower!
