Chandigarh: The Bharat Yatra Kendra developed by former Prime Minister Chander Shekhar at Bhondsi village in Gurgaon district would be developed as an attractive tourist spot, in view of the Commonwealth Games.
The task will be done by the Haryana Panchayat and Development department, Forest and Environment department in collaboration with the Haryana Tourism. The repair of existing buildings and structures at the Kendra would be taken up In first phase.
The decision was taken in a high level meeting held under the chairmanship of Chief Parliamentary Secretary Dharambir Singh last evening, an official spokesman said.
The meeting was attended by financial commissioner of panchayat department P Raghvendra Rao, director panchayats Lajvir Singh, Gurgaon Deputy Commissioner Rajender Kataria, office bearers of Bhondsi Gram Panchayat and officers from Forest and Environment department.
Since the ownership of the land measuring 588 acres under Bharat Yatra Kendra now vested with the Bhondsi Gram Panchayat, Mr Dharamvir Singh asked the officers to involve the panchayat in the works to be taken up on this land.
He said initially, the panchayat would provide funds for the development of the area and when the project got approved, those funds would be returned back to the panchayat by the Forest and Environment department.
Mr Dharamvir Singh, an MLA from Sohna, in which this Kendra fell, said funds allocated under the project would be operated through a joint account of the Gram Panchayat, forest and environment department so that transparency remained in the expenditure.
