Lucknow is also an exception where river Gomti takes heavy toll of fish mortality although it traverses from 17 districts containing toxic discharges from various industries, which baffles the environmentalists and the public at large.

 Justice for workers
In a significant judgment, the Allahabad High Court holds the closure in 1993 of the Lucknow edition of the Navbharat Times and the retrenchment of its 92 employees to be illegal.
The Navbharat Times management had neither given the workers three months' notice nor paid wages for the period of notice before the retrenchment, as required under Section 25-N of the IDA. The section also requires that the management obtain prior permission from the State government for the retrenchment of workers.
The reference was to the Wage Tribunal's decision to treat the Lucknow edition of the Navbharat Times as part of the Mumbai-based Bennett, Coleman & Co., the proprietors of The Times of India group of publications.

During the best of times, Lucknow University, like many other universities in Uttar Pradesh, is a seething cauldron of political stand-offs, gang wars and violent fights to control territory and turf.
So it was understandable that the decision of Lucknow University Vice Chancellor RP Singh, to close the university sine die after the students refused to contest the union elections (following the Lyngdoh Committee report) should trigger a howl of protest from the state government, politicians and some students.
Former VC of Lucknow University, Rooprekha Verma, told Hardnews that Singh has usually surrendered to the goonda elements — so how can he be suddenly projected as a messiah fighting against the criminals.

Situated on the banks of the Gomti River, Lucknow, capital of Uttar Pradesh, has a relatively calm disposition, its urbane gentility and relative absence of beggars and touts a welcome change from the heady assault that so marks the experience in more popular North Indian cities.
Much of Lucknow's former glory was further dissipated when, after Partition in 1947, the city's cultured elite emigrated en masse to Pakistan.
Now the capital of a state plagued with corruption, Lucknow continues to draw the spotlight for the various political intrigues played out here by the state government.
