Sasur Khaderi: From Pollution to Prayagraj Paradise
26 Sep
Summary
- Polluted Yamuna tributary to become tourist destination.
- Riverfront will feature green zones and walking tracks.
- Anti-encroachment drive to clear riverbanks for development.
The Sasur Khaderi, a Yamuna tributary marred by pollution and encroachments in Prayagraj, is undergoing a significant transformation. The Prayagraj Municipal Corporation (PMC) has initiated an ambitious project to rejuvenate the river and develop its banks into a prime tourist attraction as part of the Smart City initiative.
The restoration effort focuses on cleaning the water and enhancing the riverfront with amenities like green zones and walking paths. Plans also include dredging the riverbed to improve water flow and enable future boating activities.
Legal development is a key aspect, with joint surveys by PMC and the Prayagraj Development Authority planned to identify and remove illegal structures. This will pave the way for creating a new recreational and tourism hub.
Future developments will include energy-efficient lighting, public seating, parking, children's play areas, and selfie points. The project aims to transform the Sasur Khaderi into a thriving public space and a prominent city landmark.
