Multiple development initiatives have been embraced at the complex. Expound heritage rebuilding works have been carried out in match up with the local architectural style of Punjab. The Shaheedi well has been repaired and reestablished with a redefined superstructure. The heart of the Bagh, the flame monument, has been repaired and restored, the
water body revived as a lily pond, and the pathways made broader for way better navigability.
A few modern and advanced amenities have been included, counting redefined ways of movement with suitable signages; illumination of strategic spots; landscaping and hardscaping with native plantation; and establishment of audio nodes all through the garden.
