She underlined the need to develop proposed lawn spaces in a planned and aesthetically appealing manner to improve visitor experience. Officials were directed to explore the use of these open spaces for tourism-friendly activities, cultural programmes and public engagement initiatives, with the aim of transforming the site into a vibrant destination for both tourists and residents.
The team later inspected the musical fountain project at Sanjeevaiah Park, which has been completed with support from the Ministry of Tourism, government of India. Despite its completion, the facility has not yet been made operational or opened to the public. Ms. Prasad instructed officials to take immediate steps to operationalise the fountain and ensure its early inauguration.
