AMC's 100 crore space, income '0': Jaldhara waterpark in Ahmedabad is in ruins for three years, the lock on the gate has also been cut and the board is hanging!

The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation is setting up several new projects and recreational venues for development and recreation in the city of Ahmedabad, but the only water park built in its space of over Rs 100 crore has become a ruin today. The Jaldhara waterpark near Kankaria in the eastern part of the city has been closed for the last three years. The BJP authorities are not interested in reopening the waterpark run by the brother of a former BJP corporator after its contract expires. The Kankaria Jaldhara waterpark was once known for the citizens to enjoy the summer heat, but today the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation and the BJP authorities have closed the waterpark and forgotten the identity.

Locked at the gate, the board hanging

Divya Bhaskar had a face-to-face visit to the Jaldhara waterpark, which is located on an area of ​​more than Rs 1300 sq m of the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation in the Kankaria area. The nameplate of the waterpark is hanging today. The gate has been locked and security guards have been posted. Garbage and dust are found inside. If there is dust and rubbish everywhere like this from outside, one can imagine the condition of the waterpark from inside. Earlier, Kankaria Lakefront was in charge of this waterpark, but now that the contract for operation has been completed, the estate department is in charge of the waterpark. This place of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation has been forgotten by the authorities and the system for three years.

On the other hand, the BJP authorities are not ready to say anything on this matter. Dewang Dani, chairman of the town planning and estate committee, was also asked about the matter. Trying to hide.

After 2018-19, he did not show any interest in re-tendering

The water park was closed in 2018-19 after the deadline given to Seven Star, the company of former BJP corporator Mahendra Patel’s brother, expired, but neither AMC nor the authorities were interested in holding any tender to reopen it. In the budget for the year 2020-21, the BJP authorities had allocated Rs 10 crore for the project report to set up a modern multi-activity center, entertainment center and 12D theater in the waterpark.

Won’t give contract to anyone except Mahendra Patel’s brother?

The brother of a former BJP corporator came to give a contract to run Jaldhara waterpark. The waterpark is closed today after the contract was completed. He mentions the Jaldhara waterpark on his Facebook. The Jaldhara Waterpark is the property of the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation and is still known as the Corporation’s premises. It seems that the BJP authorities have no interest in re-opening the waterpark by awarding a contract to anyone except the brother of this former corporator. Many Ahmedabadis as well as many people from outside used to come to this water park five years ago, but today they have to return after seeing the locks.
