The green belt between Nirmal Kutia Chowk and Tau Devi Lal Chowk here will soon be redeveloped Karnal Smart City Limited has started preparing a detailed project report (DPR) for the purpose.
The green belt on both sides of the National Highway-44 is 3.8-km long.
Parks will be redesigned under the Smart City project. There will be a play area for children, an open-air theatre, seating spaces, plazas, pathways, a jogging track, a place for meditation and a yoga deck. Besides, landscape interventions, a cycle track, tree seating and other attractions will be added.
Deputy Commissioner Nishant Kumar Yadav, who is also the Karnal Smart City Limited CEO, said: "Not only both sides of the green belt will be redeveloped, but also public parks will be beautified with pathways and gazebos. More space will be used by striking a balance between the ecology and recreational activities."
Apart from redeveloping the parks, markets in Sectors 6 and 14 will be given a facelift under the Smart City project. The need for this arose after the administration received numerous complaints about stinking public toilets and a lack of space for hawkers. Another problem is haphazard parking.
The DC said haphazard parking would be a thing of the past, as planned parking spaces would be constructed. "Broken pavements and railings will be replaced. The vehicular movement will be channelled through road markings. Besides, there will be table tops to ensure continuous pedestrian connections along with shaded seating spaces," he said.
