The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has ordered the immediate removal of all flowerpots placed on parapet walls and balcony edges in high-rise apartments and residential societies across the state capital.
flowerpot fell on him from a high-rise balcony in Pune in April.
LDA vice-chairman Prathamesh Kumar confirmed on Saturday that he has issued orders to remove such flowerpots from all high-rise residential buildings, whether built by development authority or private builders. He directed additional secretary C.P. Tripathi to ensure swift implementation of the order, which will be formally dispatched to Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) by May 19.
Officials said flowerpots kept on parapet walls or narrow balcony ledges posed a serious threat to the lives of people walking or playing below.
“Even a small pot, when falling from a height, can cause fatal injuries,” an LDA enforcement officer said.
The Noida Development Authority recently issued a similar order. Failure to comply may lead to an FIR against the Apartment Owners’ Association (AOA) president or secretary in Noida.
