These villages have thrown challenge to others like them to follow the trend and set up such lungs of fresh air in villages.Block Development and Panchayat Officer Bhagta Mr Dharampal Sharma said that the place where park stands now, earlier had heaps of garbage.Keeping this in view the area was cleaned under MNREGA wherein not only the village land was cleared off the garbage albeit it also generated employment for villagers under this scheme.
