Panchayats Minister Mauvin Godinho on Friday said he plans to inaugurate the new Jogger’s Park phase 2 by October.
“The Jogger’s Park phase two is almost ready. I also want to provide the best furniture because there is a special place for senior citizens where we will have an e-library with all newspapers and magazines,” Godinho said, adding, “The complex will also have an open-air gym and closed gym for youth. We have also made a boxing ring to expand their energy besides having a creche service, an entertainment centre and a Mahila Bhavan. I have obtained approvals from Chief Minister Pramod Sawant to make an AC hall in the Jogger’s Park available for the common man,” said Godinho.
Godinho said a new railway overbridge at Shantinagar will be connecting the areas of New Vaddem.
“We have garbage trucks of around ₹24 lakh under CSR for Chicalim Panchayat. We also got the Wealth Out Of Waste (WOOW) plant functional and 2 sewage trucks of 8,000 and 5,000 ltrs capacity at a reasonable price of ₹2,000 and ₹ 1,000, respectively, to encourage people to empty their septic tanks.”
“The charges otherwise are around ₹7,000 but with our nominal rates, we want people to clear their septic tanks and water generated from this plant will be used for the garden the Jogger’s Park. We will also generate power from wet waste,” said Godinho.
