Guwahati, June 20:
The government intends to spend Rs 25 crore in creating an artificial lake for water sports, a park and a Hall of Fame, all of which will be spread across a 24-bigha plot just opposite the state zoo on
Gogoi announced the mega project during a function at the freedom fighters resthouse. He said the proposed hall of fame was a unique concept that would make the project more than a mere recreation centre. Our younger generation has forgotten the heroes of yore. The Hall of Fame is being built to enable children to draw inspiration from these towering personalities.
The public works and soil conservation departments have compiled a detailed project report, complete with computer-generated images of how the park will look like once it is completed. The report will be submitted to the chief ministers office next week.
The chief minister has instructed us to start work on the project immediately and assured that money will not be a problem, said J. Malakar, divisional officer of the South Bank division of the soil conservation department.
Kamrup (metropolitan) deputy commissioner Samir Kumar Sinha said the idea was to create a circuit of tourist attractions that are close to one another. People who come to the state zoo can also visit the proposed recreation centre. The Sankardev Kalakshetra is not far either.
Minister of state for planning and development Himanta Biswa Sarma and B.K. Gohain, commissioner and secretary to the chief minister, have already inspected the site.
