Ranchi: The work was on the war footing to give Zakir Hussain Park across Raj Bhavan a new look on Sunday.

The park closed since 2011 was being changed under the place of making and parenting the Mission Mission Smart environment where Ranchi had registered among 25 cities throughout the country.
The park reclamation process is being carried out in a unique way because WRI uses waste materials for recreational infrastructure.
After completion, the park will boast the dedicated children play area, running lanes, spices and herb and lighting parks that allow people to visit the park even during the night.
Speaking with Toi, CEO, Ranchi Smart City Corporation Limited (RSCCL) Amit Kumar said: “We chose Zakir Husain Park for a rebuilding project 75 hours because of its location.
Park 37,000 square feet is located at one of the city’s main intersections across the city of Raj Bhavan and can Used by children and others for recreational activities.
“Revamp project is supported by Ranchi Municipal Corporation and WRI is behind the initiative as a technical partner.
WRI project partner Arunima Sahha said, “We have a challenge to change the park in 75 hours and the work starts on September 30 at 10 in the morning.
This will be finished on Sunday 1pm.
It was a challenging assignment because when we had visited it first, We can’t even go around the whole area because it is covered with bushes and in a custody situation.
So, we clean it first and then start work.
“Because of the waste material what they used to renovate the park, Sahha said:” They have bought old pipes, tires of various sizes and wooden wood from the RMC Skrape page used to make swings, pyramids, plaques, and sitting areas.
Reclamation projects are divided into three parts – removal of unwanted shrubs and clean areas, install waste material based on their utility in different places creating the necessary infrastructure and then spice plantations and spices in the area intended.
In addition we also use decorative paint and lighting for sidewalks and open spaces so that people from all walks of life can access them.
“This park also has a canteen that is closed for more than 10 years and it has also been given a required makeover.
Officials said that it would be given to the women of self-help group to establish their shop in space.
