Akhilesh Yadav Urges Citizens to Oppose Alleged Plan to Commercialise Lucknow’s Janeshwar Mishra Park

Officials have not confirmed any approvals for the proposed 'Janeshwar Greens' venue.

Overview

  • Yadav cited a circulating poster for 'Janeshwar Greens' that advertises large event lawns and parking inside the park from January 15, 2026.
  • The promotional material claims nearly 300,000 sq ft of lawns, capacity for up to 10,000 guests, and parking for about 3,000 cars.
  • He called for a broad, non‑partisan citizens’ movement, urging residents, environmentalists, seniors, families, and fitness enthusiasts to join.
  • The SP leader warned of litter, noise, traffic, and pollution, saying such use would undermine the park’s role as a public green space and set a wider precedent.
  • Janeshwar Mishra Park spans roughly 376 acres in Gomti Nagar and was inaugurated in 2014, with the Uttar Pradesh government yet to respond to the claims.
