A new Tikonia Park in the offing
by Praveen Aggarwal (98100 19886)
There was about 900 sq yds of land in Anand Lok behind house numbers 41- 44 and 50-54 which was handed over to MCD for sump well way back more than four decades ago but got redundant thereafter as soon as they got the sewer connection.
A high wall was built around by MCD and it got converted into a dump yard by construction workers from adjoining houses. With great efforts of Residents Association and local councilor Abhishek Dutt, Anand Lok got the permission to convert this piece of land into a park .
MCD floated tenders for lowering the wall and making a peripheral bajri pathway inside. Association got about 70 truck loads of mulba removed from the land and got an equal amount of fresh earth using their own funds.
The residents are now looking forward to another park which has been named as TIKONIA. After a long and tiresome process and untiring efforts the residents of Anand Lok can look forward to another patch of greenery within the colony.
