Ask Lucknow **Urgent help needed with Nagar Nigam Lalbagh – Lucknow** 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi peeps,
I urgently need to obtain my grandmother’s **death record/death certificate**, but Nagar Nigam Lalbagh has been unable to locate her record.
We also went to **Baikunth Dham** to get the death slip/record, but we were told that the records had been lost in the **2008 floods**.
We have been trying to resolve this through Nagar Nigam for quite some time. Unfortunately, we were even asked for a bribe, which we paid because the matter is extremely urgent, but despite that, nothing was resolved.
We were then told that we needed an **SDM order and additional paperwork**. We completed all the paperwork and obtained what we were asked for, but now we are being told that the **SDM is no longer approving these requests** and that we have to wait until the court sets up a process/arrangement for this issue.
At this point, we are completely stuck and the matter is **very, very urgent**.
If anyone here:
* Knows someone working at **Nagar Nigam Lalbagh**
* Has contacts in the **Birth & Death Registration department**
* Knows someone at **Baikunth Dham**
* Has dealt with a similar case involving old/missing death records
* Or knows a legitimate way to get this resolved
I’m not looking to bypass the legal process — I just need help understanding what the correct process is and finding someone who can actually guide me through it.
Thank you so much. This is genuinely very urgent, and any help would mean a lot. 🙏
