The Municipal Corporation of Chandigarh took significant steps toward urban improvement this Thursday as the Environment and City Beautification Committee convened under the leadership of Gurpreet Singh. The meeting resulted in the approval of multiple development projects aimed at enhancing public spaces and recreational facilities across the city.
Key Development Projects Approved
During the crucial meeting, committee members discussed and greenlit several important initiatives. One of the primary decisions involved installing an open-air gym along with ten benches in the transport area of Sector 26. This fitness-oriented project has been allocated a budget of ₹3.69 lakh and is expected to provide residents with accessible exercise options in an outdoor setting.
Park Infrastructure Upgrades
The committee also focused on improving existing park infrastructure across different sectors. In Sector 47, officials approved the construction of a new cement concrete walking track to replace the current damaged paver track. This upgrade comes with an estimated cost of ₹9.72 lakh and will provide residents with a safer and more durable surface for their daily walks and exercise routines.
Another significant approval involved extending the walking track in the green belt areas of Sectors 39 A and B. This expansion project, budgeted at ₹5.85 lakh, will offer more space for walkers and joggers while promoting outdoor activities among community members.
Future Impact on City Life
These development works represent a collective investment of over ₹19 lakh in Chandigarh's public infrastructure. The projects demonstrate the committee's commitment to enhancing the quality of life for residents through improved recreational facilities. The new installations and upgrades are expected to benefit thousands of citizens who regularly use these public spaces for exercise, relaxation, and social interaction.
The Environment and City Beautification Committee, under Gurpreet Singh's leadership, has shown focused attention on creating more accessible and well-maintained public areas. These approvals mark continued progress in Chandigarh's urban development initiatives and reflect the administration's dedication to city beautification and citizen welfare.
