Jamnagar: The Jamnagar Municipal Corporation (JMC) has started work on the Ranmal Lake development project (Part-2). The project, estimated to cost ₹30 crore, is expected to be completed in two years. As part of the project, the lake’s storage capacity will be increased by 1 crore liters through excavation. Additionally, a new road will be constructed from the old RTO office to Saat Rasta.

Municipal Commissioner D.N. Modi has addressed public concerns about converting the lake into a concrete structure. Under the project, the civic body will reinforce the lake’s periphery with stone and construct a sturdy wall using beams. Amenities will include entry plazas with four entrances, parking facilities, rental bicycles, walking and cycling tracks, planters, seating areas, a footbridge, play areas for children, and hawker kiosks.

Furthermore, the project will feature toilet facilities, solar lights, a sound system, CCTV cameras, a water ATM, a compound wall, and a lakefront railing. A small amphitheater and a sewage treatment plant will also be built.

The project also encompasses the creation of an aromatic garden, butterfly garden, herbal garden, and flower garden. Additionally, approximately 10,000 trees will be planted around the lake’s periphery.
