Rewa: Atal Park was to charge entry after tender issued before handover, report said
Rewa Municipal Corporation started a tender process for Atal Park, built on about 10 acres under the redensification scheme, before the park was formally handed over, meaning the public might have had to pay to enter.

A remarkable move by Rewa Municipal Corporation came to light. The Atal Park, which had been presented as a gift to the public, was now set to become out of reach for the very public it was meant for.
Yes, this park was built under the redensification scheme. After clearing government land, a grand Atal Park was developed on around 10 acres for the people. But now the same park would no longer be free for the public.
The municipal corporation had overstepped all limits: the tender process was started even before Atal Park was handed over. That is, the process of giving the park out on contract began before it was even handed over to the public.
