“The beautification works include construction of new pavements, retaining wall, grills and a landscape.

There will also be a seating arrangement along the jogging track. The storm water drain to be laid at the Udyan will be of RCC type,” said a senior civic official.

The BMC had received three bids for the project, from Vikash Enterprises, Bharati Constructions and Ashwini Infradeve-lopments. Of them, Ashwini Infra-developments emerged as the lowest bidder with a quotation of `2.20 crore.

The contract period is 11 months including the monsoon.
