Locals want Cantonment parks well-maintained

Bowenpally: While Cantonment leaders are busy participating in Haritha Haram programme conducted at various parks in Cantonment to improve greenery, no one seems to care about maintenance of parks in the area.

Most of the parks are not properly maintained even as they have become grounds for dumping waste and construction debris. The park near Pallavi Model School in Bownpally is filled with waste and construction debris.

Despite several complaints by locals to authorities concerned, the park has not been cleaned. It has become a spot for drunkards and anti-social elements during evenings, a local lamented.

The issue has been brought to the notice of the Board CEO by board members, but there was no response, a local said. Locals demanded the board officials and political representatives to ensure that parks in Cantonment area were properly maintained.
