Ministry kills night tourism project
Chandigarh, April 23
Putting an end to the two-year-old ambitious project of night tourism in Chandigarh, the Union Ministry of Tourism has cancelled the project and withheld the grant of Rs 4.98 crore to be released for it.
The project envisaged use of illumination technology through special lights to project the unique architecture of the monuments and buildings in the city. Initially, the Capitol Complex comprising the High Court, Secretariat and the Assembly was the centre of focus for the project. Tourists were to be taken on a guided tour on the Hop-on-Hop bus to witness the grandeur of the imposing structures under the effects of special lights during night hours.
But due the delay made by the UT engineering department in finalising the details and design of the illumination lights, the Tourism Ministry in a meeting held in Delhi decided to cancel the project. A senior official in the tourism department blames the UT engineering department for showing little interest in completing the project on time. The security concerns regarding the safety of building in Capitol Complex were not a hurdle as illumination was to be shown to the tourist from a distance. “The engineering department was taking its own sweet time. The design of the lights was not as per the requirement,” said the official.
The ministry had also announced special grant for development of garden of spring in Sector 53 and Japanese Garden in Sector 31. There were also plans to light-up the entry points of the city such as at Mullanpur, Mohali and Panchkula. The entry points were also to be landscaped.
