New Delhi, Jan. 23 -- Chief minister Rekha Gupta on Thursday laid the foundation stone for the rejuvenation of the Munak Canal and announced the construction of Chhath ghats on both sides of the canal.
As part of the project, Gupta said the government will construct an elevated road over the canal at an estimated cost of Rs.5,000 crore, extending from Inderlok Metro Station to Urban Extension Road (UER)-II.
According to the chief minister, the canal, which has remained in a dilapidated state for years, will be cleaned thoroughly, beautified and equipped with dedicated ghats. The entire area would be comprehensively revitalised by the next Chhath Puja, she said.
