On record
A 5-acre park named after a former Chief Minister was renovated in 2019 with a fountain, lighting, benches and a walking track, but has since fallen into disrepair with broken swings, overgrown pathways, open sewage, garbage accumulation, stray animals and reported gambling on the premises, driving away residents who once used it for daily walks.
The official record states: "Not specified: the Joint MC Commissioner promised to seek a report and take action; the MC Commissioner was unavailable for comment."
“A crore of renovation in 2019, and the fountain, the swings and the walking track have all since retired.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“Five acres of open sewage, broken swings and stray animals, and the morning walkers have gone elsewhere.”
“The Joint Commissioner has promised to seek a report, and the gambling on the premises continues in the meantime.”
