Jubilee Park in Jamshedpur suspends its spectacular musical fountain show


Jubilee Park in Jamshedpur is a sprawling 200-acre green lung of the steel city and it has suspended its spectacular musical fountain show since last week because 24 out of the 100 jet nozzles of the fountains had gone missing over the past week.
These had been installed by a Bangalore firm and the nozzles are not available locally. Hence, the fountain show has been suspended and is not likely to resume before another fortnight. The nozzles appear to have been stolen.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 16 November 2016.
The musical show in Jubilee Park is held thrice a week Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. The sprawling park is a golden jubilee gift from Tata Steel to the industrial city and is inspired by the Vrindavan Gardens of Mysore. It was inaugurated by then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
Incidentally, the fountains were revamped and redesigned near the Rose Garden, Moghul Garden and JN Tata statue in 2012 and more than 2,000 people visit the park every day while the number swells to over 5,000 on weekends.
