LUCKNOW: The Lucknow Municipal Corporation has served a notice on Ekana Cricket Stadium administration directing it to deposit Rs 3.28 crore as the property’s commercial tax outstanding since 2020. The stadium representatives, however, claimed that the assessment was faulty and they have raised their objections.
The notice was served on Friday, just nine days before the stadium is to host the second T20 international match between India and New Zealand on January 29. The tax arrears were detected during a GIS (Geographical Information System) survey commissioned by the LMC, the report of which was compiled a fortnight ago.
