A park in Salt Lake that had started to resemble a garbage dump littered with plastic bottles, used cardboard boxes and sanitary ware — will be cleaned up and renovated by the Calcutta Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA).
The CE Block’s Green Verge Park in Salt Lake’s Sector I had been lying in neglect for months.
Once a popular hangout for resident, the park now resemble a mini forest, overrun by weeds.
Residents of the block had requested the Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation and the CMDA multiple times to renovate the park.
The park is located in the middle of the CE Block and bifurcates the residential area into two parts.
A senior CMDA official said that a team inspected the park last Wednesday and renovation is expected to start in the next couple of weeks.
According to the official, all the play furniture in the park will either be replaced or repaired. LED lights will also be installed.
