Once acquired, the open spaces will be developed into recreation grounds that would be open for all. The administration is planning to acquire nine such open spaces in the city suburbs.

Park avenues: The approximate cost of the project has been pegged around Rs 51.29 crore and the acquisition will be made after the proposalu00a0is passed in various meetings of the civic body. Representation Pic
