Lucknow, Oct 6 (PTI) The Sahara Shaher in Lucknow's posh Gomti Nagar that once dazzled with glitterati was sealed by municipal authorities on Monday for alleged violation of lease norms.

"We decided to seal the premises as the Sahara authorities violated the 30-year lease that expired in 2024," Lucknow mayor Sushma Kharkwal told PTI even as a municipal corporation team assisted by a large police force carried out the sealing exercise.

As per SEBI rules, the mayor said the Sahara India, with whom the lease pact was inked in 1994, "violated norms by neither building houses, nor developing any projects or carrying out several other tasks they were meant to carry out".

She added that the 170 acres of Sahara Shaher land was now in the possession of the Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC).
