PWD quarters to make way for a walkers park

October 09, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 05:58 am IST - VIJAYAWADA:

The old quarters at PWD Grounds in the heart of the city are to make way for a lush green walking park on the lines of the Kasu Brahmananda Redy Park in Hyderabad.

Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday instructed the authorities to take up the project at the earliest .

Participating in a meeting with Endowments Department officials, the Chief Minister said the forthcoming Dasara festivities should be organised in a grand way in the city and wanted elaborate arrangements made for the convenience of pilgrims.

Mr Naidu said the festivities should be grander than the recent Godavari Pushkarams as pilgrims are likely to turn up in large numbers drawn by the Amaravati foundation ceremony on October 22. He directed officials to conduct the annadanam programme in a big way to ensure food distribution to all pilgrims and suggested that they seek the help of the Akshaya Patra Foundation, if need be.

He wanted Vijayawada, Guntur, Visakhapatnam, Amaravati and Tirupati to be decked up with lights from October 13 and directed the officials to ensure that a festive atmosphere prevails in every town across the State.
