Beautification of Gandhi Bagh: New metal junk decorative items installed

Feb. 24: The Gandhi Bagh Park has been closed for visitors since a long period of time. Beautification work is going on inside the park for a long time. A new mini open air theatre along with a gallery has been constructed. Apart from this, work of installation of metal junk items is also going on. This would seem to add to the beauty of the park.

All of them are alumni of the Department of Visual Arts, Assam University, Silchar. Apart from them two more persons are involved in this project. They are Sahil Ahmed Majumder (ITI Wielding) and Jakir Hussain Barbhuiya (Welder).

In this connection, the Creative Team of Metal Junk Decorative Items has released an e-brochure, where they have provided the details of the items to be installed at Gandhi Bagh. The lions share of the installation work has been over and it is expected that Gandhi Bagh will be reopened for the public very soon.
