Dankuni Irrigation Canal Renovation After Court Directives
Imagine a canal that was super dirty because of waste from cows and buffaloes.
It used to overflow, making the nearby areas flooded.
People complained, and the court told the city to clean it up by removing illegal cattle sheds.
Now, the canal is clean and being fixed up with new plants and maybe even a park.
Environmental groups and city leaders are planning to make it a beautiful green area.
They also plan to add boating facilities.
This will make the air cleaner and attract birds, making a better place for everyone.
The Dankuni irrigation canal was previously blocked with waste.
Illegal cattle sheds were removed from the canal's banks.
Renovation cost approximately Rs 18 crore.
Environmental activists and officials gathered to discuss further beautification.
Proposals include afforestation, park development, and boating facilities.
