Gujarat confidential: Municipal Gardens

At a recent event to hand over cheques worth Rs 1,512 crore to various municipal corporations and municipalities in the state for carrying out developmental works, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel stated that each and every municipality should have at least one garden. When he inquired about the number of gardens in various municipalities across the state, Principal Secretary Ashwani Kumar informed him about the initiative to develop urban forests. However, the CM urged for proposals from municipalities about the places where gardens could be developed. Notably, the CM started his political journey as a member of the Memnagar municipality in Ahmedabad.
