“Delhiites are yearning to indulge in water sports, camping, and soft adventure activities over a weekend need not go beyond the city limits now. They can have the same fun at the complex,” said Mr. Tomar. Ms. Lamba said that there was scope to add more activities which the Government would look into as early as possible.

There is also a provision for one km long cycling and jogging track, along the periphery of the “eco-green” complex and also dining café area,” said a Government official.
