GUWAHATI: Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday inaugurated the Jorpukhuri Park at Uzanbazar in Guwahati.

Inaugurating the park, the Chief Minister said, "Swargadeo Shiva Singha had dug the ponds so that the Uggratara Devalaya does not face any water crisis. These ponds have been given a new look with the funds of the Amrit scheme of the Central government and GMDA."

Meanwhile, the park has been constructed in order to make the area a tourist spot. Moreover, the ponds have also been cleaned and the administration has also taken a step to preserve the fish in the ponds.
