HM Report

Kalimpong, Apr 6:
The Industrial park located centrally in the town will soon get a facelift courtesy the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) and the Gorkha Janmukti Morcha (GJM) development spree in the hills. The GTA’s tourism department has asked professional architects to prepare a Detailed Project Report for proper renovation of the park within April 15.

Industrial park is a place where students and many others spend their time in a bid to escape from the noisy main-road which is few yards away. People use the park for recreation while the senior citizens bask in the sun for prolonged hours. The Morcha office also lies adjacent to the park.

Sources said plans are afoot to construct an open stage for cultural programmes with refreshment centers like a coffee shop and most importantly a washroom facility. Norden Lama the president of GJM in Kalimpong said the facelift plan is an effort to attract more tourists to the town.

Urgen Lama a professional architect assigned to prepare the report confirmed of the GTA’s plan to renovate the park for which an April 15 deadline has been fixed.

“The report will consist of estimated cost for renovation, the design and many others. Once the report is submitted funds will be released and work will begin,” he said
