Wardha guardian minister Bhoyar inaugurates Namo Udyan, mutton market and roads

Guardian Minister Dr Pankaj Bhoyar inaugurated several development works in the Wardha municipal council area. They include the new mutton market at Itwara Bazaar, roads in Ward No. 4 and Ward No. 12, and the Namo Udyan at Isaji Layout. The mutton market was built at a cost of Rs 5.50 crore under a special fund.

Those present at the programme included municipal council president Sudhir Pangul, vice-president Pradeepsingh Thakur, chief officer Vijay Deshmukh, works committee chairperson Rakhi Pande and councillor Vandana Chamatkar.

Earlier, in the presence of Bhoyar, Pangul and other dignitaries, the newly built mutton market at Itwara, the cement road in Ward No. 12 and the road in Ward No. 4 were inaugurated. The foundation stone was also laid for the construction of the road at Masjid Chowk. Chief officer Vijay Deshmukh gave the introductory address. Many residents of the area attended.

At the inauguration of the Namo Udyan, Dr Bhoyar said the government had launched the Namo Udyan scheme so that the city's elderly, children and ordinary people have a recreation centre. Eco-friendly, good-quality gardens are being built under the scheme. Ten Namo Udyans are being developed in the district from the special fund.

Bhoyar said maintaining the garden, built at a cost of Rs 1 crore, is also important. He expressed the hope that local residents would form a committee, as is done for a Ganpati festival committee, to look after it.

The garden in Wardha city is the first Namo Udyan in the district under the state government's scheme. It has been built with the environment in mind. It will add to the beauty of the city and give people a place for recreation. Council president Sudhir Pangul appealed to residents to form a committee and take on the upkeep, even though the municipal council will carry out repairs to the garden in future.
