Sluice for Eco Lake

Even in this peak hot summer afternoon, I along with a team of senior engineers of Hidco and KMDA inspected various sites of Eco Park. We decided after site inspection and on-site meetings that :
(1) We will complete the amphitheatre near Food Court / Banglar Hat before the monsoons
(2) We will commission partially a part of the Sculpture Park before the Pujas
(3) We will start a toy train service in Eco Park before the Puja Season.
(4) We will complete the sluice gate at the far south end of Eco Park before the monsoons so as to prevent water-logging in Eco Park even in the monsoon season. A photo of the sluice works in progress:

A team of three engineers from NKDA visited Navi Mumbai to see mechanised Solid Waste Management. I held a debriefing session with them at NKDA today. We decided that we will design our own facility tuning the Mumbai idea. A photo taken by the visiting NKDA team:
