The Mayor said the park had been revamped within 75 hours with newly painted gazebos, grills and pathways. The park has been dedicated to citizens with the newly installed open air gym, gymnastic/exercising equipment and swings for children.

He said during the programme, the Municipal Corporation organised various citizen-engagement programmes such as yoga, painting, kabaddi matches, magic show, puppet show, antakshri, tug of war, besides cultural programmes for residents.

He appreciated the entire team of the MC, under the leadership of Commissioner Anindita Mitra, to make this event successful.

Area in front of the dais got submerged due to rain in the afternoon. As a result, people had to face a tough time and activities in that area were stopped. Later, the civic body got the area cleaned through motor pipes, following which the event could be held. — TNS
