Nishat Ganj, Lucknow

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.
