Park for senior citizens inaugurated at Belapur

CBD BELAPUR: A Nana Nani park was inaugurated at the mango garden in CBD Belapur on Wednesday. Guardian minister Ganesh Naik, who inaugurated the park, has pledged Rs10 lakh from his MLA fund for the park that is meant for senior citizens.

At the inauguration, Naik said, “Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) will soon undertake renovation of the sprawling mango garden that is spread over 12 acres in sector 1A of the node.”

The last time that the garden was cleaned up was when the civic body used the Sant Gadge Baba award money to clean it. Since then, there has been a steady deterioration in the condition of the park.

Local corporator Swati Gurkhe said, “The developed Nana Nani park will cater to recreational needs of senior citizens. A duck pond has also been added. Further, the park also has playing equipment for children and seating arrangement.”

Besides, Naik also unveiled high- mast lights in sector 1A and inaugurated the beautification work of road divider on the CBD highway and Mahakali chowk.
