Govt forgets Hari Singh Park project!
Five months have
passed since the former Chief Minister and Union health Minister, Ghulam Nabi
Azad promised a park in the name of former ruler, Maharaja Hari Singh in the
heart of the city. The park was even inaugurated and Azad in a grand ceremony
assured to make it a tourist resort. The park supposed to be a heaven for
morning walkers has not come up till date. While tourists are nowhere to be
seen, it has become a play ground for street children and rag pickers to approach
the Tawi.
Interestingly,
the deputy Chief Minister showed much interest in the park before the grand
ceremony was held. He used to direct the concerned to expedite work on the park
but the foundation stone stands there all alone to remind him and the authorities
who forgot the project. The locals while expressing dismay over the abandoned
project urged immediate measures. They reminded the former Chief Minister of
his promise.
The state
congress unit leaders owing allegiance to Saif-ud-Din Soz say the project was
hijacked by Azad. This, according to them, is the reason for the delay caused
in completion of the park
