A green island in concrete gurgaon soon
Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) has often been at the receiving end for the concrete jungle that the Millennium City resembles. But now, acknowledging the importance of green areas, the civic body has come up with a plan to build a 160-acre biodiversity park in DLF Phase-III that will not only change the view of the area but also reinforce the ecology of Gurgaon.
The project, which will cost around Rs 60 crore, will re-establish the local Aravali ecology and create a multi-facet community resource. We will promote the development of green spaces that utilize native plants and will attempt to create a balance between development and ecological conservation though this park, said a senior MCG official.
Officials said development in Gurgaon has often come up at the cost of ecology and with the help of this project they hope to stem the loss of plant and animal species.
