Visit of Hon’ble Member Sh Avinash Rai Khanna to Satluj Park Consturcted by the Municipal Committee of Nangal

 

On 2-6-2009 at about 7.40 PM I visited Satluj Park constructed by the Municipal Committee of Nangal. It is constructed in about 5 acres of land. The persons present there namely Sarvshri Vishwa Nath, Ashish, Baljit, Jagbir, Rajiv Ashish Bhatti, have reported that there is no drinking water facility in the park. There is no bath- room or toilet constructed therein. Only 30% lights were  functioning  which were installed in the park for  its beautification.

                   There is no proper sitting arrangement for the visitors. The bridge situated on a part of the lake was not safe. The boating facility was there, but the lake was full of silt. The boats lying in the park were filled up with water and were damaging day-by-day. The dirty water was discharging in the lake and from 50 meters away where the dirty water was discharging, the pump was fitted to lift the water for drinking purposes. Only one employee was there for the maintenance of the park.

                   The canteen was lying closed .

                   The park was not neat and clean. The source of income has not been explored by the Municipal Committee to increase its income.
