The project also places a special emphasis on the beautification and security of the premises. Lighting will be ensured through the installation of solar lights, and adequate drinking water facilities will be provided. Works such as interlocking, horticulture, chain fencing, and wall murals will be undertaken within the complex, giving the ghat a new and attractive appearance.
