Home Minister Babulal Gaur has directed officials concerned to conserve the lake in front of Subhash Nagar Phatak and nearby step-wells. Gaur on Friday took stock of these step-wells in the heart of the city and directed officials to improve and renovate the lake and step-wells.
About the works done so far by Municipal Corporation, he said that these are up to the mark in the initial stage. But a detailed project report should be chalked out and work done accordingly. Gaur also inspected under-construction idol immersion Kund near Khatlapura Mandir on the banks of lower lake. He directed that a dilapidated house near kayaking-canoeing centre at the lower lake should be kept outside boundaries of the lake. He held discussions with officers over widening of road from aquarium to PHQ trisection being done by CPA.
A proposal has been chalked out by CPA to widen the existing 4 meter wide road to 14 meters. Gaur also inspected an approach ramp being constructed at Karbala on the banks of Upper lake. Municipal Corporation has constructed approach ramps and platforms at 4 places to take modern machines to the lake. Gaur directed to divert flow of Shirin nullah near Koh-e-Fiza to prevent its filthy water from flowing into the lake.
Gaur held discussions with officials on ongoing development works in Gufa Mandir. He said it should be kept in view that the light mounted atop the temple reaches large area. Gaur said the suggestions made by Gufa Mandir Mahant Chandramadas Tyagi about light and development works should be implemented. SP Arvind Saxena, Municipal Corporation Additional Commissioner Sanjay Kumar, officers of Tourism and other departments accompanied Gaur.
