Park in a bad state, residents shun it

Allwyn Colony: The park in Allwyn Colony is turning from bad to worse with no proper maintenance. Garbage is strewn everywhere and the place is even dotted with empty wine bottles. Cleanliness is ubiquitously absent and it puts off the visitors, especially women and the aged.

With the officials turning a blind eye to its proper upkeep, a few residents are even brazenly throwing their garbage and waste materials in the park. Even the garbage is set on fire, causing severe air pollution in the area. The entire park is in a pathetic condition, rue the local residents.

"Some unknown people are coming in the night and consuming alcohol in the park. Several empty alcohol bottles are seen in the park, Rakesh, a local resident, said. "I have been watching this park for several days. Its condition is worsening day by day," he added. The colony people eagerly look forward to spending some quality time in the park, but are put off by the sorry state of affairs.

"Some days before, in the afternoon, I used to go to the park every day and even take some rest. But now the park is in a very bad condition. We can't even enter the park now. I request the GHMC to clean the park and maintain properly," said an auto driver.
