In 2016, the previous Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav, approved a Riverfront Project, under which Rs. 180 Crore was designated for the beautification of the Yamuna coast. Under the scheme, officials designated land covering an area of approximately one acre, covering 2km of the banks of Yamuna, near Keshi Ghat. The plan was to make the area into a tree-lined park and work was due to be completed by 2017.
The Allahabad High Court, has ordered a stay on work on the green zone, due to land claim by Vishal Sharma, who has documents showing ownership of part of the land that was designated for the park. The National Green Tribunal has reprimanded the officials involved in designating the area, as the land dispute has caused work to fall even further behind schedule.
