The Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) has decided to increase the maintenance allowance of parks given to registered resident welfare associations (RWAs) from the existing Rs 1 per sq metre to Rs 1.30 per sq metre. A notification to this effect will soon be issued.There are around 526 big and small parks in Mohali and most of them are lying in a dilapidated condition.
To ensure better maintenance, GMADA has handed the responsibility of 37 parks to different RWAs, while around six applications are still pending with it.
The associations were looking after the maintenance of parks in a better way and the allowance given by GMADA was being spent on appointing a gardener and completing other works.The RWAs would submit the expenditure receipt to the horticulture wing of GMADA every month and on its basis, money would be deposited with them.
