These LED vans will be flagged on Tuesday from the head-office of LMC at Lalbagh which would cover all the major areas of the city including Kaiserbagh, Charbagh, Rajajipuram, Alambagh, Hazratganj, Vrindavan Yojna, Chowk, Mahanagar, Gomtinagar, Indiranagar, Aliganj, and Janakipuram etc till March end. LMC has announced to submit the revised smart city proposal of Lucknow to the state government by April 6 for approval.

The revised proposal would include suggestions given by the public and tasks undertaken by various local government departments to make Lucknow better. Srivastava added, “After the overwhelming response of online & offline citizen engagements for last 20 days, it would be desirable to inculcate the high spirit of the citizens towards making the mission ‘Art City to Smart City’ a big success.”
