NAVI MUMBAI: The plot at
Belapur Sector 15 where once stood the controversial Glass House will be now
used by City and Industrial Development Corporation to construct a public
garden. This move by CIDCO will prevent that particular plot from being
encroached upon. CIDCO MD Sanjay Bhatia, who is the mastermind behind this move,
has already got a group of engineers and other experts to work on the blueprint
of this garden which will have many facilities like fountains and various types
of games.
After the Glass House
was demolished as per Bombay High Court’s orders, there was no one to take care
of the vacant spot resulting in this land getting dried up owing to lack of
electricity and water supply. This spot had become a meeting place for
criminals and the residents around this place felt threatened by them. These residents
did lodge complaint with CIDCO authorities who for months kept on promising to
resolve the issue. At last, Sanjay Bhatia revealed his idea of coming up with a
green garden at his location. He also promised to implement this gem of an idea
at the earliest.
The architects,
engineers and other necessary experts have already begun their survey of this
plot and developed a rough idea about the kind of garden they could come up
with here. Also the residents around have been given the power to put forward
their suggestions about the facilities they would like CIDCO to include in this
garden.
In fact, huge quantity
of soil that will help in making this entire area green has already started
arriving at this place and this has pleased the residents around to a great
extent. Thus CIDCO authorities seem to be bent on proving that they don’t just
make empty promises.
