An under-construction building promoted by former BSP MP Dawood Ahmed in Lucknow was razed to the ground today. The action was taken after the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) raised a red flag, citing its proximity to the protected site of the Residency in Lucknow. बी एस पी के पूर्व एम पी दाऊद का लखनऊ में बन रहा मल्टी स्टोरीड रेजिडेंशियल अपार्टमेंट सरकार ने ज़मींदोज़ कर दिया।इसकी लागत 100 करोड़ बताई जा रही है।यह ए एस आई के मोन्यूमेंट रेजीडेंसी के बहुत क़रीब बन रहा था।जिसने इसे गिराने का आदेश दिया था। pic.twitter.com/Uozb1klqW2 The Residency is a group of buildings that served as home for the British Resident General who was a representative in the court of the Nawab. Built in the 18th century, the Residency was at the centre of the Siege of Lucknow during the first war of Independence.
