“A water cascade has been installed in one of the restored structures, and the work has been carried out without disturbing the natural surroundings,” it added.
The event was attended by South Delhi MP Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, area MLA Gajender Singh Yadav, and DDA Vice Chairman Vijay Kumar Singh.
The statement further stated that when the LG first visited Sanjay Van in May 2023, the site was in a state of neglect, with crumbling heritage structures surrounded by overgrown vegetation, dirt, and garbage.
Following his visit, efforts were initiated on a priority basis to restore the historic structures, enhance the environment, and revitalize the area, it said.
Saxena emphasised that the initiative is part of the government’s broader vision to promote holistic development and improve the quality of life for Delhi residents. (PTI)
