The Nagpur Municipal Corporation planted saplings and did landscaping along many roads. However, with no maintenance, the landscaping is in pathetic condition and decorative saplings have either disappeared or grown in haphazard manner. Several accidents have happened as drivers fail to see oncoming vehicles while taking turns due to such plants.
All this is set to change as NMC has tied up with Jayaswal`s Neco Industries, one of the biggest industrial groups based in city, to maintain plantation and landscapings on dividers and traffic islands for next five years. "Initially, the Neco group will develop landscapes on 14 main roads in west Nagpur. Based on that NMC, will hand over other roads across the city to other organisations," NMC garden superintendent NB Shrikhande said.
The stretches to be maintained by Neco Group are RBI square to Ladies Club square, Bole Petrol pump to High Court (East High Court road), both sides of Bole petrol pump to GPO square, Law College square to Japanese Garden (West High Court Road), RBI quarters square to MLA Hostel to Union Bank square, Ramgiri to Y-Point, Hingna Road to Ring Road junction, Hingna Road to Jaitala road, road in front of collector`s office, Law College square to Ravi Nagar (Amravati Road), Ram Nagar square and Maharajbagh square to St Ursula school (Tagore road).
Neco group will put up signboards of its contribution every 50 metres.
Meanwhile, many private operators have shown interest in renovating and maintaining gardens in prime areas of Dhantoli, Shankar Nagar, Bal Bhavan, and Trishatabdi garden Shastri Layout, Congress Nagar, Lendhra Park, Abhyankar Nagar, Bhauji Page garden, Chitnavispura garden and Shanti Nagar Housing Board colony garden which are in `A` and `B` category.
More than five private operators have evinced interest in development of Ambazari and Shankar Nagar gardens. At Ambazari garden, the private parties would be allowed to collect entry and parking fees, charge for other amusement facilities and water sports and from hoardings or banners. While at Shankar Nagar and other gardens private operator will provide food plaza, cafeteria and amusement facilities and take care of all maintenance.
Opposing the move, A G Moolay, secretary of the Consumer Service and Research Association, said, "it is corporation`s duty to develop and maintain gardens. Before handing them over to private operator, the NMC should invite suggestions and objections from the citizens."
