Jatragachhi Bridge & Tropical Forest Plantation Starts

We got the eco-tourism Master Plan from ILFS/ Pradip Sachadeva a couple of days ago. There will be a Rain Forest on a 3-acre plot within the 480-acre site. Each plant is identified and a co-ordinate assigned to it. The plantation started today morning. I and others went there to kick-off the starting of the plantations. 
..
Earlier in the morning, we witnessed the starting of a Rs 30 lakh box bridge connecting Jatragachhi Panchayat with New Town. I broke a coconut as also MLA Rajarhat Mr Sabyasachi Datta. This was a long-pending demand of the villagers and the Panchayat Pradhan, a lady, thanked us for the effort.

  1. Great to see all these... hope this eco-tourism site becomes a classy showcase of the government's commitment towards a green and clean environment.

  2. This is definitely going to be much like 'Central Park' of major cities across the world in a decade or so...

    Sir is it okay for you to publish the master plan if not officially restricted.. we searched a lot in ILFS site etc but nothing is there in public domain.

  3. I agree. It would be nice to be able to visualize how the eco-tourism site would look after a few years. I recollect seeing a photo of you Mr. Sen with a 3D model in some expo.
    Please get it uploaded in HIDCO website, if possible.

    Also, sir, what is the status of drinking water supply in Rajarhat?
