AGARTALA: Continuing the Agartala Municipal Corporation’s (AMC) mission to rejuvenate urban water bodies, Mayor Dipak Majumdar conducted a follow-up inspection of the ongoing renovation work at Prabubari Pond on Monday. During his visit, the Mayor issued a clear ultimatum to the engaged contractors and a stern warning to any local elements attempting to hinder the project.
Accompanied by Corporator Ratna Dutta and senior technical officials of the AMC, the Mayor reviewed the progress of the structural work and the cleaning process of the historic pond.
Tight Deadline for Completion
Expressing his desire to see the project through without further delays, Mayor Majumdar directed the contractor to ensure that the entire renovation and beautification process is completed within the next four to five months.
The project aims to transform the once-neglected and encroached pond into a clean, usable, and aesthetically pleasing public space. Planned features include:
- Construction of a protective boundary wall.
- Paved walkways for residents.
- Proper filtration and cleaning of the water.
Zero Tolerance for Interference
In a notable stance against local disruptions, the Mayor warned that the administration would not tolerate any “unauthorized interference” or attempts to stall the work.
”This is a project for the benefit of the general public. If anyone attempts to create obstacles or stop the work for personal interests, the AMC will not hesitate to take strict legal action against them. Development cannot be held hostage,” Mayor Majumdar told reporters at the site.
Restoring the City’s Ecological Balance
Corporator Ratna Dutta, who has been actively monitoring the local grievances regarding the pond, noted that the restoration would significantly help in maintaining the groundwater level and providing a recreational spot for the neighborhood.
The AMC officials present were also instructed to maintain the quality of construction and ensure that the pond remains free from illegal dumping in the future.
