A living memorial: Delhi park named after social worker DJ Sachdeva MCD plans to upgrade parks across Delhi through multiple models, including public-private partnerships, collaborations with RWAs A neighbourhood park in Gujranwala Town in North Delhi has been dedicated to noted social worker Late DJ Sachdeva on Sunday, with Delhi Mayor Pravesh Wahi saying the move is aimed at honouring citizens who devoted their lives to public service while reaffirming the Municipal Corporation of Delhi’s focus on expanding and improving green spaces. The park, located in the Keshav Puram Zone, was inaugurated in the presence of local MLA Ashok Goel Deoraha, Keshav Puram Zone chairman Vikesh Sethi, councillors, members of social and religious organisations, Sachdeva’s family and local residents. Speaking at the event, Wahi said naming public spaces after individuals who made lasting contributions to society helps preserve their legacy and inspires younger generations to uphold the values of service, dedication and social responsibility. The Mayor described parks as more than recreational spaces, calling them centres of social interaction, public health and community life. He said the MCD plans to upgrade parks across Delhi through multiple models, including public-private partnerships, collaborations with Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs), and coordination with the Delhi government. Highlighting the civic body’s broader agenda, Wahi said the MCD is working to increase green cover, beautify parks, improve sanitation and strengthen civic infrastructure as part of efforts to make Delhi cleaner and more environmentally sustainable. He also urged residents to actively participate in maintaining parks and other public spaces, saying community involvement is essential to preserving the city’s green assets.
