Two carved-stone gates and 40 benches have also been installed. Shelters made of red stone have also been set up in the park.
The horticulture department of the civic agency is also planting 500 saplings in the park.
“We have initiated a special drive for the beautification of the park. We have spent R45 lakh for the same. We will also install slides for children,”
VK Nirala, executive engineer, Huda (horticulture) told Hindustan Times.
Meanwhile, city residents are elated at the move.
