Vadodara: Conceived over a decade back and even after a series of changes in its plan and form, the Vishwamitri riverfront project is yet to see any concrete development. It only seems to have become a pile of controversies that do not seem to end.
The Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) had started discussing the Vishwamitri project as the Vishwamitri Riverfront Project in 2008. The civic body was eyeing to develop it on the lines of the Sabarmati riverfront in Ahmedabad. Even the state government promised help and declarations were also made in this regard. It even found mention in the budgets, but work did not start.
