Nishat Ganj, Lucknow

The inauguration of Lucknow's Green Corridor has been postponed to mid-March, pending the availability of dignitaries. The project aims to reduce travel time between Gomti Nagar, Hanuman Setu, and Nishatganj. The Uttar Pradesh government has sanctioned approximately ₹1,000 crore to accelerate work on phases 3 and 4 of the Lucknow Green Corridor, which aims to improve connectivity and reduce traffic congestion. Phases 2 through 4 are targeted for completion by mid-2026.

Heritage sites in Lucknow, including the Asafi Imambara and Rumi Darwaza, are suffering from neglect, with issues like accumulated garbage, open drains, encroachments, and illegal parking. Activists have filed a public interest litigation, urging better management and coordination between civic agencies and tourism authorities. These issues negatively impact the visitor experience and the city's image.

A new link under Lucknow's Green Corridor Project (Phase 2 of IIM Road to Kisan Path) is set to open by December 15, aiming to halve travel time on the Samatamulak Crossing–Nishatganj route and ease peak-hour traffic. The Rs 130-crore project includes bridges and road widening, which will significantly improve north–south traffic connectivity in the city.
