Khanta Picnic Spot to be developed as a new tourist attraction in line with CM Yogi’s vision.
Lucknow/Sonbhadra : The Yogi government is placing special emphasis on tourism development across the state. In this sequence, the proposed development of the Khanta Picnic Spot in the Myorpur block of Sonbhadra district assumes special significance.
Notably, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed to develop this area as a prime picnic destination a few months ago. Subsequently, in
alignment with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s vision, a comprehensive action plan was meticulously prepared for the development of Khanta Picnic Spot.
The implementation of this plan is now underway, aiming to transform the area into a major tourist attraction.
The Yogi government’s initiative has already led to a significant increase in footfall at various major pilgrimage sites across the state with the development of comprehensive tourism facilities. Simultaneously, destinations endowed with natural beauty of the state are also being enhanced.
*Construction and development works will be completed at the cost of Rs 3.65 crore*
The Yogi government has entrusted the Uttar Pradesh Project Corporation with the task of developing the Khanta Picnic Spot area, including the main building and various other facilities.
Moving forward with this process, UP Project Corporation Limited has invited applications through a short-term tender. Through this process, a contractor agency will be selected to complete the construction and development works within 27 months, excluding the rainy season, with an expenditure of Rs 3.65 crore.
This agency will develop the necessary infrastructure to make the designated area a tourist attraction center. During this time, a total of 283 types of work, including building construction, will be completed.
*Modern gym and children’s play area will also be developed*
According to the action plan, the Khanta Picnic Spot area will be equipped with various facilities. This includes civic amenities like a modern gym and a children’s play area.
Tourists visiting here will find gym equipment such as a fun walker, shoulder press, chest press, pendulum cum twister, fun cycle, ski trainer, step trainer, and tai-chi double, allowing them to participate in both physical training and fun activities.
In the children’s play area, there will be swings like a double see-saw, playground slide, wheelchair swing, and arc rubber belt swing. A selfie point will also be developed, and benches will be installed for people to sit and enjoy the area’s natural beauty.
