Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta laid the foundation stone for Atal Garden in the Uttam Nagar Assembly constituency. The garden, situated in a densely populated area, aims to boost greenery, reduce pollution, and offer a well-planned public space with modern amenities. Atal Garden is envisioned as a vital asset for the local community, providing various facilities for all age groups.
The project will feature amenities like an amphitheatre, open gym, food court, Chhath ghats, and seating arrangements. A 12-foot-tall statue of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee will be a prominent feature, alongside the planting of indigenous tree species for environmental sustainability. The Irrigation and Flood Control Department is overseeing the project’s implementation.
Delhi’s Chief Minister emphasized the need for spacious and versatile public areas in densely populated neighborhoods. Atal Garden is designed to cater to families, children, youth, and senior citizens, promoting recreational activities and a healthy lifestyle. The park’s concept emerged during an inspection of the Najafgarh drain, highlighting the government’s commitment to rejuvenating the area.
Officials are working on developing a well-equipped park and roads along the drain to enhance connectivity between localities. The project also includes work beneath the Metro corridor from Uttam Nagar to Dwarka Mor. The Chief Minister stressed the importance of timely completion and exceeding public expectations in delivering the garden to citizens promptly.
