MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF URBAN DEVELOPMENT ( SHRI BANDARU DATTATREYA )
(a)&(b): The maintenance of parks in R.K. Puram and
Sarojini Nagar have been affected due to lack of unfiltered water
supply in this area. Over the years, sub soil water level has
gone very low which is affecting the growth of vegetation in the
parks. Wherever water supply is available for hoticultural
work, the maintenance and upkeep of the park, the turf and the
hedges have been satisfactory.
(c)&(d): There has been no negligence on the part of
CPWD officials for maintenance of the parks and in view thereof
no action is called for against any official.
