Gurgaon has got a new lung in February. For years now, the Aravalli Biodiversity Park has been known as the green lung of Gurgaon, as it gives the city much of its green cover. Now, the Park has some assistance from the newly-opened City Forest. Situated right in the heart of the Millennium City, the City Forest is a joint initiative between the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) and city-based NGO I Am Gurgaon, and is already proving to be popular among Gurugrammers thanks to its green cover and relatively clean air.
