LUCKNOW: The Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority has found as many as 262 housing projects on the outskirts as developed without requisite permission from the authorities concerned.

UP-RERA had divided the outskirts into three zones - zone-1 (Sitapur-Faizabad Road), zone-2 (Faizabad-Rae Bareli Road) and zone-3 (Rae Bareli-Sitapur Road).

About 106 projects coming in zone-1, 85 in zone-2 and 71 in zone-3 found no mention in the records of LDA or zila panchayat. "RSC has completed its survey and given us its preliminary report. a detailed report will come in 15 days after which we will forward it to local authorities and district magistrates for action," said UP-RERA secretary Abrar Ahmed.
