Eknath Shinde, Maharashtra chief minister inaugurated NaMo Grand Central Park in Thane recently. Kalpataru group has developed the park and will be maintaining this green landscape. Estimated to be the State’s biggest central park, the inspiration is taken from many international green boulevards.

The park spans 25 acres and will flush oxygen for the city residents while overpowering pollution. CM Shinde said, that the park commenced a new story of environment-friendly living for communities.
CM Shinde further said, “Thane 2.0 is a vision realised, a paradigm shift towards a family-friendly city, creating more green spaces, fostering community engagement where families come together to enjoy, and most importantly, change the lifestyle of people in Thane. Our vision extends beyond Thane, aspiring to see cities in Maharashtra emerge as a green zone, and NaMo Grand Central Park is a significant stride towards that goal.”
On this occasion, the Maharashtra CM congratulated Kalpataru Group for coming up with this brilliant landscape and exhibited faith in them for park maintenance. The State Government, with local authorities, aims to make a green and clean atmosphere to live in. Also, the local authority is excited to expand the green blanket to ensure pollution-free living.
