Gurugram, Dec 6 (SocialNews.XYZ) A biodiversity park and lake will be developed on about 500 acres of land in three villages of Gurugram -- Damdama, Khedla and Abhaypur.
According to Gurugram administration officials, this project will be developed in collaboration with the EY Foundation and Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar will lay the foundation stone on Thursday.
Upon completion of this project, the environmental condition of Gurugram is expected to improve, the officials said.
They said that the EY Foundation, under its CSR programme, will renovate the Damdama lake built on about 80 acres in association with Gurujal Society.
