The state cabinet of Uttar Pradesh gave the green light to a Rs 380 crore first instalment aimed at launching city‑development schemes in three key districts: Lucknow, Unnao and Rae Bareli. The funding is earmarked for infrastructure upgrades, urban amenities and civic services that are part of a broader plan to modernise these urban centres.
According to the announcement reported by Swarajya, the allocation marks the initial tranche of a larger financial package the state intends to roll out over the coming years. Officials said the money will be released to the respective municipal bodies to commence works such as road widening, drainage improvement and public space revitalisation.
