Waste to Wonder Park fest kicks off

Saturday, 22 February 2020 | Staff Reporter | NEW DELHI

Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal on Friday inaugurated the ‘Waste to Wonder Park’ festival on Friday to celebrate the grand success on its first anniversary. The three-day-long extravangza has been organised by the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) in which renowned ghazal singer Pankaj Udhas presented a spectacular musical and Ghazal programme.

The event comprises musical performances by renowned musical bands, comedy shows, magic shows, puppet shows, sound and light show.

Baijal while appreciating the efforts of SDMC said that the South civic body has developed splendid parks like ‘Waste to Wonder’ park, Nandan Van and Woodland Amusement Park.

He said on the lines of Waste to Wonder Park, SDMC has started the process of developing another magnificent Bharat Darshan Park in Punjabi Bagh.

Baijal said that Waste to Wonder Park is a shiny example of Waste to Wealth concept. “SDMC should develop such more parks which are self-sustained and based on Waste to Wealth concept. It has limited parking space and for construction of parking site, DDA land will be provided to the SDMC,” he said.

SDMC Commissioner Gyanesh Bharti said that it is a matter of great appreciation for SDMC to organise this grand festival on its anniversary and announce that the civic body has recovered the entire cost of this park by generating the revenue of more than eight Crore.

Bharti said that approx 16 lakhs people have visited this wonderful park with an average daily footfall of 4,000 to 5,000 and it increases up to 10,000 on weekends and public holidays.

SDMC Mayor Sunita Kangra said the park has become most successful and popular tourist hub of Delhi which has earned accolades from all over the world.
