| Tulip Garden was thrown open in 2008 not in 2022 | | Putting The Record Straight | | Early times Report
Jammu, Mar 26: Present dispensation in J&K led by Lieutenant Governor is trying to take credit for the opening of Tulip Garden in Srinagar city although it’s the brainchild of the former J&K chief minister Ghulam Nabi Azad.
Before the Tulip Garden was thrown open for the public this year the J&K government spent crores on advertisements to take credit for the work which was initiated and implemented by Azad.
After conceiving the idea of Tulip Garden overlooking the Dal lake Azad took keen interest in the project and visited the garden at least 50 times to monitor the work, including designing and landscaping. He still takes a keen interest in the garden. In fact, the new fountain that was added to the garden was constructed out of his MPLAD funds. The garden was opened for public in 2008 by the then Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad in the presence of Congress president Sonia Gandhi and former chief minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed.
The idea of the garden, spread over 30 hectares in the foothills of the snow-clad Zabarwan range was conceived to advance the tourism season in Kashmir by two months.
An observer while talking to Early Times said, “LG led administration is trying to take credit for the works that were done by the former rulers and publicizes each event in such a way that it wants to make the people believe that no development took place during the tenures of the former rulers.”
“Someone needs to ask the present government in J&K has it been able to come up with any project like Tulip Garden during the past two years. The claims of the present dispensation in J&K are confined to papers only as on ground nothing much has been done. The projects which the government has been publicizing are still far from being implemented on the ground.” |
