The Supreme Court has issued a contempt notice to the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) Vice-Chairman over alleged non-compliance with its directions following a June fire at a coaching centre that killed 15 students. The Court criticized the continued misuse of residential premises for commercial activities despite a recalled demolition order.
