There is a good news for the children of Madikeri as a children park is getting ready in the town.
In fact, the Madikeri CMC had sent a proposal to the district administration to develop the Nehru park near Sudarshan Circle as Bala Bhavan following a proposal from the Women & Child Welfare Department Secretary urging the district administration to provide Rs 10 lakh to develop the park besides providing children play items.
Deputy Commissioner K R Niranjan who is also the Administrator had resolved in a meet chaired by him and given the green signal for the same and submitted a proposal to the government in this regard.
Though the Bal Bhavan near KSRTC bus stand in Madikeri has got a few equipment such as swing and ladder among others, the children have to pay a fee to avail the facilities. With the development of the Nehru Park, the children of the town will have ample space and an opportunity to spend time in park.
The Park if developed on the lines of Bal Bhavan in Bangalore will attract a large number of children in and around the town.
