The lake plot in Survey No. 251 of Chharodi village was transferred by Government of Gujarat to Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) for free in March 2020 to develop it as a public space and as a water storage.[1] The development work was started by holding online ceremony under the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah on 11 September 2020.[2] The encroachments on the plot were removed in March 2023.[3] The lake was developed by AMC at the cost of ₹5.26 crore (US$630,000).[4] It was inaugurated by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on 21 May 2023.[5][6] In May 2023, 26 houses were demolished to create space for an amusement park and a garden in future.[7]
