Gurugram, Feb. 15 -- The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) on Saturday has approved a plan to beautify several city parks by allocating a budget of Rs.2.85 crore towards infrastructure upgrades, landscaping, and installing recreational facilities, said officials aware of the matter. The initiative will cover all parks in Sushant Lok-1, Ward 9, and Ward 10 and will the works will be completed within three months, officials said on Saturday. Officials said a key component of the project is ensuring environmental sustainability. Treated water from sewage treatment plants (STPs) will be used for irrigation to maintain greenery in parks via a dedicated pipeline, reducing dependence on potable water and groundwater sources. MCG officials said tenders for the proposed works have been initiated and on-ground implementation will begin soon. "Apart from beautification, the projects will also include improvements in lighting and safety measures to make parks more secure and user-friendly," said MCG commissioner Pradeep Dahiya. According to civic officials, nearly Rs.1.5 crore has been earmarked specifically for maintaining and enhancing greenery, particularly in parks located in Sushant Lok-1's C Block. Until now, irrigation largely depended on groundwater or tanker supply, but the new system is expected to ensure long-term water security for landscaping needs. Under the development plan, parks in Ward 9 will receive special facilities for children and youth. Around Rs.35 lakh will be spent on installing modern play equipment for children, while Rs.50 lakh has been allocated for setting up open-air gym facilities. Additionally, seating areas and gazebos with shades will be constructed at an estimated cost of Rs.25 lakh for senior citizens and other visitors. Municipal authorities said the objective of the initiative is to ensure that citizens derive tangible benefits from well-maintained, accessible and environmentally sustainable public spaces. The revamp is expected to enhance both the aesthetic appeal and utility of parks across Gurugram, according to officials aware of the development....
