JK Group has proposed to raise a hospital in Kamla Nagar on approximately 28,380 square metre land which according to the town planner and the additional labour commissioner was being opposed by labourers who claimed that the proposed hospital would not be allowed to be constructed on their colony land. However, after inspection, it was found that the land for the proposed hospital did not belong to the labour colony.
Some members stated that though both Kanpur and Lucknow have almost the same population density but there are three multi speciality hospitals in Lucknow while Kanpur has none. They said KDA has a right to sanction alteration in building plans to which the board members have no objection.
The members decided to constitute a committee which after investigating objections would present the same before KDA vice-chairman along with its recommendations.
