Mayem MLA Pravin Zantye has launched the work to beautify the area around the Madel ferry wharf at Chorao.
The Rs 54 lakh project is being undertaken by the River Navigation Department and executed by the PWD.
The RND had earlier renovated and widened the ferry ramp at a cost of Rs 64 lakh.
Addressing a gathering after launching the work, Zantye said the project would boost tourism as the Salim Ali bird sanctuary close by is visited by a large number of tourists.
“It will also serve as an evening spot and walking space for senior citizens and a new addition to the Mayem Lake tourist circuit,” said Zantye.
ZP member Shankar Chodankar, Sarpanch Kamlakant Vadyekar and ex-sarpanch Pandari Vernekar also spoke on the occasion. Deputy Sarpanch Babita Kalangutkar, Diksha Kundoikar and Savio Colaco were among those present at the event.
