Six eateries to come up at Green Park

Tiruchirapalli City Corporation has planned to set up eateries at Green Park being established at Panchapur to attract visitors.

The
park is coming up adjacent to the city’s massive sewage treatment farm,
off the Tiruchi-Madurai national highway, on about five acres of land
at the 200-acre sewage farm and the civic body is planning to develop it
as a small amusement facility. Work is under way on planting saplings
and creating other amenities.

A variety of saplings
and herbal plant species will be raised at the park, which will have a
meditation hall, a small zoological park, a toy train, and models of the
Seven Wonders of the World. The corporation has invited city residents
to participate in the initiative by sponsoring a sapling by contributing
Rs. 3,000.

Meanwhile, the civic body has drawn up a
proposal to establish eateries and fruit juice stalls through private
contractors at the park. Six eateries, including one offering
traditional Indian food items, are planned. Once the proposal is
approved by the corporation council, the civic body will initiate the
process of granting licence to private parties interested in setting up
the eateries. The private firms will be required to set up
semi-permanent structures at their own expense for running the eateries.
