Park to be developed near Biroja Factory in Nahan to boost tourism, recreation
A new and luxurious park is set to be developed near the sewage drain adjacent to the Biroja Factory in Nahan, the district headquarters of Sirmaur. This upcoming project aims to attract tourists to the town while providing local residents with a scenic space for recreation and leisure.
On Saturday, Nahan MLA Ajay Solanki, accompanied by the Executive Officer of the Municipal Council, inspected the construction site located along NH-907A near the Biroja Factory. During the visit, the MLA highlighted a safety concern regarding a boundary wall being built by a contractor at a sharp curve. Declaring it a ‘black spot’, he directed its removal, citing potential risks of accidents due to the wall’s height and location.
The park, planned to cover an 80-metre stretch near the sewage drain, has received funding of approximately Rs 1.11 crore from the Urban Development Board. The construction contract, valued at Rs 84 lakh, has been awarded to Atin Bansal Construction. Executive Officer Sanjay Tomar confirmed that the remaining budget will be utilised for beautification and additional features in the park.
Narendra Tomar, president of the Road Safety Club, emphasised the danger posed by the boundary wall near the sharp curve. “The wall was creating a major black spot, raising the risk of accidents. This issue was brought to the attention of MLA Ajay Solanki, who promptly addressed it during the site inspection,”
he stated.
During the inspection, MLA Ajay Solanki reiterated his commitment to accelerating Nahan’s development. He directed the Municipal Council to expedite pending projects using the approved budget. He also assured that additional efforts would be made to ensure the city’s infrastructure and amenities meet the needs of both residents and visitors.
Notably, the park’’s name has not yet been decided. However, its strategic location and ambitious design are expected to make it a key attraction in Nahan.
As the park takes shape, residents and officials alike are optimistic about its potential to transform the area into a vibrant and welcoming destination.
