MYSURU: District minister ST Somashekhar launched works to develop Freedom Fighter’s Park at Subbarayanakere here on Wednesday.
The minister said a compound wall, a seepage water drain and a jogging track will be constructed and stone benches will be installed by Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) at a cost of Rs 1 crore.
He added that the civic body has been instructed to release additional funds sought by the local MLA for completion of all the planned works in the park.
As anti- social elements desecrated the statue of Mahatma Gandhi inside the park, MCC has also been directed to improve security at the park by employing gaurds, he added. The minister also promised to redress the grievances of freedom fighters after interacting with them.
