The main components of the rejuvenation work includes physical cleaning of the banks and flood plains by removing garbage, dumped construction and demolition waste, animal waste and encroachments, it said. The area adjoins localities like Seelampur, Shastri Park and Shahdara, it said. “Once rejuvenated by the DDA, this site will develop as a one-of-its-kind public green space in the locality, which has been suffering the most due to unplanned urbanisation and degradation.
“The L-G took an on-site stock of the situation and instructed officials to immediately ensure steps to clean, restore and rejuvenate the degraded flood plains,” the statement said. The DDA will plant one lakh trees at Shastri Park apart from different species of riverine grass, bamboo and other flowering/fruit-bearing trees to rejuvenate the floodplains, the statement read.
The statement comes a day after the L-G inspected the Shastri Park-Bela Farm-Garhi Mandu area of the flood plains in northeast Delhi and directed officials to clean, restore and rejuvenate the 11 km-long stretch.Įven as the DDA was instructed to immediately ensure plantation of 1 lakh trees at the Shastri Park site, the entire 11-km stretch on the eastern bank, upstream from Shastri park to Garhi Mandu will undergo a thorough make over, it added. The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) will plant one lakh trees in Shastri Park area as part of plans to rejuvenate the Yamuna floodplains, a statement from Lieutenant-Governor’s (L-G) office said today.
