After sailing through several controversies and a protracted legal
tussle, the Ambedkar Park is all set to open for the public on October
14. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati will inaugurate the
controversial park during her scheduled visit to Noida, along with
several other projects too. It has been almost three years since
33-hectare project which is of 650 crore commemorates for Dalit
leaders began in Noida for the construction work of the Ambedkar Park.
Roads and footpaths are being repaired, saplings are being planted on
a war footing and road dividers are getting fresh coats of paint in
Noida and Greater Noida these days. . Due to security reasons, the
traffic officials are planning the route for the CM's visit and
special security will be guard to maintain the security. Security has
been strengthened at Apeejay School where a temporary helipad
construction is in progress, where Mayawati's helicopter is expected
to land. The Chief Minister will also inaugurate four other projects
on her visit to Noida. Mahamaya Inter College and Panchsheel Boys
Inter College, a SC/ST hostel in sector-62 and Sector-30 Ambedkar
hospital will be inaugurated.
According to a senior official of Noida authority, the park will be
open to public on all days, however, a nominal entry fee will be
charged from all visitors. With the Supreme Court orders, the park has
75 per cent green area in the park with thousands of trees and shrubs
being planted.
The park was designed by architects Design Associates Inc and is
spread between the DND flyway and Mahamaya Flyover. The park has been
divided into three parts — the Column Plaza, the Central Park Plaza
and the Ambedkar Plaza — and has two water fountains. The Plaza has
high pillars with several stone elephants each 18-foot high seen
across the complex. The Ambedkar Plaza has several stone statues
