Meet-Step-2-lets get all the information-Chandrama udya:
Green and green throughout the entire park area. The modern park tree covers design. When I entered the park, a bridge can be entered again with a wheelchair. Modernly designed this place. A signboard can be noticed when entering. There are some rules, you must follow the rules.
Bengali people don’t follow the rules. Again if they don’t follow the rules but you can read the law of the police. Although it is said that hawkers are not allowed here, nuts shop, pickle shop, and Ice cream are still available in front and behind the bridge.
I was lucky that the weather was really fantastic that day made the place more enjoyable, green grasses and trees all around, a little hilly-top seating place where you can sit in relax, feel the breeze and watch a wider look at the national parliament house in backside view.
