The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has completed a detailed electronic total station (ETS) survey of the areas surrounding the property linked to the accused in the Saadatganj triple murder case to establish the extent of alleged unauthorised construction and encroachment on the premises.
The LDA will compare these findings with available maps and records before deciding on any further action against the property owner. The survey, which began on Friday, aims to establish how the property has changed over the years by mapping its existing structures, vacant portions and other physical features.
A senior LDA official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the survey had concluded. How the ETS survey will establish illegal construction An LDA official revealed that unlike a routine physical inspection, the ETS survey uses specialised surveying equipment to record the precise measurements and geographical positions of structures and land features across an identified area. A private agency conducting the exercise is expected to finalise its report by Saturday evening and submit it to senior LDA officials for examination. The survey also assumes significance as the authority is undertaking such a detailed ETS exercise in the area after several years.
