Krishna Enclave in Zirakpur to get park

Tribune News Service

Zirakpur, March 5

Plans are afoot to make a park near Krishna Enclave in Ward No. 14 of Zirakpur. The demarcation of the park area has been done and the proposal has been sent to the higher authorities for approval.

A park in the area was a longstanding demand of residents as no such facility is available in the vicinity. At present, the residents are forced to go to Nature Park near Green Society in Dhakoli, 2 km away.

Area councillor Harjit Singh Minta said, “Around Rs50 lakh has been estimated for the project. A proposal has already been sent to the Municipal Council.”

Residents said close to 5,000 persons lived in the society area and during the recently held MC elections, it was one of their major demands. Zirakpur Executive Officer Sandeep Tewari said the plan had been sent to the higher authorities. The demarcation of the park has been completed. The work will start when all approvals are recieved.”
