In an effort to promote greenery in the national capital, Lt Governor V K Saxena on Tuesday dedicated Aanandita - the latest DDA Green to the people of Delhi, Delhi Development Authority(DDA)officials said here on Wednesday.

They said aimed at promoting greenery in the city, developed green public spaces and enhance aesthetics on roads of the city, the project has been developed adjacent to hitherto neglected Vijay Ghat stretch of the Samadhi Complex along the Mahatma Gandhi Road (Ring Road), opposite the ramparts of the Walled City.  The project envisioned and carefully monitored personally by Saxena was executed by the DDA.

Spanning over approximately a kilometre along the Ring Road, Aanandita is adorned by two large rockery fountains on one intersection, a fountain with columns on both sides of another intersecting road and 18 corridor fountains, all illuminated in tricolour.

This design initiative has been carried out in consonance with the ethos of the memorial complex, carrying forward the essence of tranquillity and serene atmosphere of the memorials honouring the dignitaries at the Samadhi Complex.  It will develop as a space for reflection and remembrance.

‘The addition of the Fountain Corridor is expected to enrich the cultural and recreational landscape of the area, creating an inviting environment.

‘During the inauguration ceremony project's aesthetic design and thoughtful execution was well appreciated by the Lt Governor and other dignitaries.

‘Visitors can look forward to a revitalized experience on the busy arterial road, where the soothing sounds of flowing water and the enchanting glow of the fountains, lit in tricolour, will provide a perfect backdrop for contemplation and connection.
