Hyderabad: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is developing a ‘Butterfly Park’ at Kukatpally Housing Board Colony (KPHB) Phase V with an estimated cost of Rs 10.81 lakh.

The unique features, which set the butterfly apart from others, include flower-yielding plants to attract butterflies, benches moulded in the shape of butterfly and a selfie point depicting a butterfly wing. “The park is spread on a land parcel admeasuring 560 square meters. Due to less availability of space, we have developed only pathways and did not install a play area for children. Most of the works related to the park have been completed and the plan is to inaugurate it within a month,” said a GHMC official.

Lavender, Ixora, Jasmine, Vinca rosea and Tecoma capensis are some plant species that are presently being grown,” the GHMC official said.
