Mohali park to be upgraded

Mohali, July 10

The Mohali Municipal Corporation today announced that the nature park located in Phase 8 would be developed as the identity of the city.

City Mayor Amarjit Singh Sidhu made the announcement after visiting the park. He met residents living in the area and talked about the shortcomings in the park.

Senior Deputy Mayor Amrik Singh Somal, Deputy Mayor Kuljit Singh Bedi and Municipal Commissioner Kamal Garg were present on the occasion. He asked the authorities concerned to develop the park as the ‘’identity of Mohali’’ so that the tourists visiting the area would come to see the park.

Residents told the Mayor that on about 250 feet of track, dirty water kept accumulated and there was no provision for clean drinking water. They said the nullah drain passing from there created foul smell.

Mayor Jeeti Sidhu directed the authorities to immediately solve these problems. He also directed that the existing gym be repaired and a new gym be set up so that the visitors could exercise and keep themselves fit. He also directed the officials to install more new benches and beautify the nature park by planting flowers. — TNS
