Lucknow: In order to take advantage of other special facilities including infrastructure development in big cities of UP, people will have to loose more pockets. For this, a special facility fee will be charged from them. This decision of the Yogi Adityanath government will affect the people of cities with metro and other facilities.
With this decision of the UP government, Metro, Rapid Rail Transit System i.e. RRTS will be started in the cities.

Presently master plan of 59 cities is being prepared in the state. At present, the land use of illegal constructions coming in the master plan is also upgraded without any fee. This causes financial loss to the authorities. Keeping this problem in mind, a provision has been made for urban land use charges.
Till now only facilities like roads, sewer lines, electricity supply and water supply were included in the definition of development fee in the state. Now its scope has been extended and mega projects including metro, RRTS, stadium, river front have also been included in it. It has been defined as a ‘special amenity’ in the amended Act.
According to the state government, at present master plan of 59 cities is being prepared. Soon the people living here will get new facilities through various big projects along with the existing facilities. Along with this, they will be charged as a special amenity.
