Under the Divya Nagar Yojana, the Yamunanagar-Jagadhari municipal corporation will develop a river waterfront along the Western Jamuna Canal (WJC) at an estimated cost of ₹12.87 crore.
Sharing details on Wednesday, MC commissioner Ayush Sinha said that the front will stretch from behind the city’s OP Jindal Park to Fatehpur bridge on Old Saharanpur Road for nearly 4.5 kms.
Sinha said that the government has given administrative approval to this project, and it will have landscape area, wide footpath along with fencing, garden, beautiful and attractively designed benches for sitting, fancy lighting, greenery and other arrangements will be made along the wide road and footpath.
“There are various residential colonies including Azad Nagar, Chitta Mandir Road, Shanti Colony around the place designated for the project. Due to the construction of the River Front, garbage will also not accumulate on the banks of the canal. Apart from this, dirty water from drains and sewers will not empty directly into the canal,” he added.
