LG appreciated the design, development and maintenance of the green area, as also the manner in which the heritage structures in the park were being maintained. Witnessing the historical references that had been incorporated in the Landscape Design of the green area, LG directed officials to explore replicating the same in other parks that had heritage structures.

The LG also asked for the Baradari area of the monument to be explored for holding cultural events by Department of Archeology, GNCTD with requisite safety measures.
