A meeting, chaired by District Magistrate Dr. Ashish Chauhan, was held with relevant departments and experts to address the issue of waterlogging in the IT Park area at Sahastradhara, Dehradun, and to discuss the beautification of the Rispana River. During the meeting, a detailed action plan—prepared by NIVV Consultancy Services based on a technical survey—was presented.
The proposal estimates a cost of ₹38 crore for a permanent drainage solution in the IT Park, and ₹2.74 crore for the development of the Rispana River canal, riverfront, and an eco-park in the Rajpur area. The District Magistrate directed that the process for securing funds from the District Plan and the District Mineral Foundation (DMF) fund for the Rispana Riverfront be initiated, and that the ₹38 crore drainage proposal be submitted to the state government. He emphasized the need to complete all formalities in a time-bound manner. The meeting was attended by ADM K.K. Mishra, SDM Apurva Singh, and other officials.
