He said trainers from Goa have been roped in to supervise water sports activities which will be put in place with all safety measures.

Currently, private players offers water sports facilities in the state but none hosts national or international events.

Besides the five acre water sport complex equipped with world class facilities and infrastructure, others projects that will be dedicated to the city by CM are constructed Nagar Nigam building, a multi-level parking, three ITIs and one polytechnic.

Notably, the iconic Ramgarh Tal also hosts light and sound shows on glorious past of the city covering historical figures or incidents or places associated with Gorakhpur.
