Lucknow, Dec 22: The Uttar Pradesh government has decided to spent Rs 15 crore to beautify the Jawaharbagh Park in Mathura, where 28 persons, including two police officers, were killed in a gun battle in June.

"To erase bad memories, officials have prepared a road map that includes massive plantation, a nursery, indoor sporting activities, recreation facilities and a kids park," the official told IANS.

Members of the Swadhin Bharat Vidhik Viacharik Satyagrah Sanstha led by Ram Briksha Yadav, a self-styled godman, owing allegiance to the Jai Gurudev sect, had encroached upon the park illegally for nearly two years.

On June 2, when police tried to evict them after a court order, Ram Yadav's supporters opened fire on the police teams, killing an inspector and a superintendent of police (SP).
