The long-pending and ambitious Chicalim garden development project is expected to finally move towards implementation, with Panchayats Minister Mauvin Godinho assuring that the foundation stone for the project will be laid shortly.
Godinho was speaking to reporters after inaugurating a four-arm high-mast electricity lamp near the Shivaji Statue at Chicalim. The installation is aimed at improving illumination and visibility in the area, particularly during the upcoming Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations.
The minister also distributed musical instruments to the Ganapati Temple at New Vaddem as part of efforts to support local religious and cultural activities.
On the long-pending Chicalim garden project, Godinho said the proposal had finally cleared a crucial hurdle after the tender process was successfully completed on its third attempt.
“Regarding the Chicalim park, it has finally been tendered again in the third attempt. The tender has been bid by the same contractor who is developing the Joggers Park Phase III,” he said.
