BERHAMPUR: Installation of a toll-free telephone, renovation of ponds and laying of foundation stone for an aqua park and concrete roads in the town by the Berhampur Municipal Corporation marked Local Self- Government Day celebrations on 31^st August. "We installed the telephone at the BMC office to improve our services. People can now complain using the telephone. The BMC officials will look into the grievances as soon as possible," mayor S S Das said. This new system will help the poor, who cannot come to the BMC office to air their grievances, he added. The corporation has also decided to develop a modern aqua park near Agual pond in Goshaninuagaon. The well-illuminated park will come up on seven acres and will have boating facilities and other amusements. "The Rs 9 crore park will be modern in design and have separate amusement facilities for children and youngsters," commissioner of the civic body A K Mohanty. "Funds will not be a problem for construction of the park that will be funded under different government schemes," Mohanty said. But some areas demarcated for the park has been encroached upon. "We will try to free the area of encroachments," Mohanty added.
