New Delhi, April 28 -- Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has started using Jute Carpeting on pathways, walking/cycling tracks in its parks, especially in those located on the Yamuna floodplains. This came to light after Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena on Sunday visited Asita Park on Yamuna floodplain where pathways made out of jute are being laid to inspect the work. The move will help to prevent dust pollution and preserve soil erosion from the floodplains to support grass growth naturally, while aiding jute farmers and jute industry.
According to DDA, Saxena has asked for the use of the material also for tracks inside the northern ridge, restoration of which was undertaken by DDA after he visited the location earlier this month.
