On the Shakarparian Hills, there are no cement structures; instead, there are wooden benches and a few BBQ pits. The ceremony was attended by Rana Shakeel Asghar, the civic body’s member of finance, Naveed Tareen, the director general of the environment, Irfan Niazi, and other CDA officers.
According to sources, the 100-foot-long and 68-foot-wide lotus lake is presently being tested and will be filled with water in the coming days. A natural lotus lake with pink and white blooms surrounded the location. However, due to the construction of the Culture Complex in 2004-05, the lake’s size was lowered.
