Cultural park to be set up

A cultural park with pieces
moulded and carved from steel scrap collected by Corporation Sanitary workers from across the city would be set up here.
Sculptures of animals and birds would form part of the park in the city which had been selected as smart city.
The work on the first phase of the Smart City had begun at a cost of Rs 200 crore and the important sites of the city including tourists attractions like Thirumalai Naicker Palace temples, parks, railway stations and bus stands would be cleaned and beautified.
Parts of old corporation vehicles lying idle for decades would also be used to make the artefacts for the proposed museum, Corporation Commisisoner Sandeep Nanduri said.

He said in the first phase, 16 sculptures had been made or chiselled from the iron waste.
