"must be replicated everywhere though waste recycling should also be promoted," wrote one user.
Common spaces like parks and playgrounds are becoming rare in cities due to growing population and the need to construct more houses for a living. However, efforts are being made to transform utilized spaces like dumpyards into parks for the public. One such example was shared by an Indian Forest Officer (IFS) on X, formerly Twitter. The video shows a dumpyard in Rajasthan's Rajgarh turned into a beautiful park with a fountain.
Shared on X by @Savi_IFS, the caption shared along with the video also shares an informative message.
"A former dumpyard converted to this public park on Municipality land by #ForestDept #Churu in 3 months. #Motivation - Kids like mine have a place to go, staff learnt new skills, department got recognition and a public asset created," wrote the IFS officer.
The clip opens to show a well lit park in the night. Then it pans to show some of the decorations in the park along with a beautiful fountain.
