Development of Satpura protective wall and jetty
Taking into account the impact of flooding in 2023, the protective wall adjacent to the Cactus Garden will be expanded to provide riverside, food stalls and trail facilities for visitors in addition to flood protection. At the same time, as the terminal develops, transportation facilities will also increase. Not only this, due to floods, the area earmarked for development of the Garudeshwar hotel area was submerged and in view of this, it was decided to spend over Rs 60 crore to raise the height of the land to save the land from future impacts. The flood has passed.
