At the same time, repair and restoration work has begun in Khagani Garden.
A new park will be established on a 12-hectare area at the intersection of May 28, Mehdi Mehdizade, Elman Ovchuyev, and Huseyn Rasulbayov streets.
Project and cost estimate documentation has been prepared for the repair and restoration of the square in front of the railway station, and the work has commenced.
Additionally, the work on greening and landscaping the capital continues.
Along the main streets and avenues of the city, in parks and recreation gardens, new trees, evergreen shrubs, and flowers are being planted, creating various floral compositions.
