CCTVs in Eco Park

For security and surveillance reasons, we have decided to set up Closed Circuit TVs in Eco Park. In consultation with Bidhannagar Police Commissionerate, 21 sites have been identified. I have already held preliminary discussions with Webel. The CCTVs will be put up also on our newly constructed watch towers. Police will man the watch-towers, especially on holidays. Ground space will be used as food/ tea kiosks. Costruction of the watch towers is almost complete. Here is a photo that I took yesterday:

The Hidco Board met yesterday. Few decisions taken:

1. A 20 acre site in the periphery of New Town will be developed by Kolkata Municipal Corporation for an innovative "waste to energy" programme. Solid waste of New Town would also be used. An MOU will be signed with KMC subsequently.

2. An Iconic Welcome Tower will be erected at the 6th roundabout. 

3. A Sculpture Garden designed by Shri Suvarasanna will be set up in Eco Park near Bamboo Graden.

4.An Interpretation Centre of Butterfly Garden will be started soon. A research unit will function. Visitor awareness sessions will be conducted. 

Here is a photo of a book on butterflies that we procured recently from the Forest Department. Hon'ble CM had talked about this book in her last visit to Eco Park:
