As per the Commissioner’s instructions, the UBD wing recently developed 10 different theme parks, such as a herbal and medicinal garden, an ixora garden and a ficus garden, in and around the KBR walkway. The Commissioner further instructed regular operations such as trimming, sweeping, green waste lifting and gap filling to maintain the park in lush green condition.
