In a significant step towards urban development and beautification, MLA Banihal Sajjad Shaheen on Monday laid the foundation stone of the Rs 1 crore Central Park Beautification Project at Banihal. The project aims to transform the park into a modern recreational space equipped with landscaped green areas, walking tracks, seating facilities, children's play areas, decorative lighting, and other public amenities, providing residents with a vibrant and attractive community space. Addressing the gathering, Sajjad Shaheen said that the Omar Abdullah-led government is committed to ensuring balanced and inclusive development across Jammu and Kashmir and that the Banihal-Gool constituency is witnessing an unprecedented pace of developmental transformation after years of neglect.
