Haryana Education Minister Mahipal Dhanda addressed a gathering on Sunday at a programme organised in Tau Devi Lal Park at Sector-7/8, Panipat, on the occasion of the foundation stone laying for the beautification of community parks in Ward 21, Ward 25, and Tau Devi Lal Park.

The beautification works worth crores of rupees will be carried out in Tau Devi Lal Park, including a lake spanning around one acre and an advanced track for daily walkers, Dhanda added.
Apart from the advanced running and walking tracks, the park will feature beautiful plantations, a yoga hall and a multipurpose hall. State-of-the-art facilities will also be provided to make the park a landmark of the area. Model parks will be developed in Ward 21 and Ward 25 within seven months.
The minister also mentioned the possibility of developing more than 100 shops around the parks, which will create employment opportunities for local people and boost the area’s economic activity.
The minister agreed to the demand for opening a school in the Ward and said that concrete steps would soon be taken in the field of education as well.
