It also bagged a Guinness record by planting 60,000 species of plants in just half an hour.
From Churches and Masjid to the umpteen number of temples, this place has a myriad of spots for worship and is a heaven for those looking for spiritual solace.
An amazing fact which one can’t deny is that you will find one park in every sector of the steel plant. The parks are covered with a variety of flowers and in few parks, you will find lakes too. Nehru Park near sector 8 is where many people from different places come for ‘Chhath festival’ in winter. It is a perfect place to spend some quality time with family and friends and even has good selfie spots.
Due to a lot of parks, temples and the peaceful environment, people from faraway places come here for spending their leisure time. College students too, from in and around the city come to have a wonderful experience.
