- Municipality not paying attention to complaint
Nagpur. The park built by the Municipality in the city’s posh colony Snehnagar is now coming under the grip of dirt. Here people are openly dumping other waste along with e-waste near the boundary of the park. Because of this, the health of the people coming here to roam has become at risk. People have also raised objections on this matter many times but no action seems to be being taken.
There is a municipal park near the CNG petrol pump in Snehnagar area. From morning till evening, more than five thousand people come here for a walk. The largest number of these are from the family, the elderly and the youth. A large number of children roam around and play many games.
Everyone’s purpose of coming here is to make good health, but some people are throwing garbage along with e-waste near the boundary of the park. Cats and dogs carry this waste inside. Due to the open garbage lying outside, the problem of mosquitoes and flies has also started to arise here. This condition can become a threat to the health of the people.
Chamber is open since two months
The chamber outside the park has been open for almost two months. This poses a danger to the vehicles. Some people have juggled the pipe from somewhere and put its pieces around the chamber so that the vehicles or pedestrians can know that the chamber is open and they do not become victims of accident. Due to the chamber being open, the outbreak of mosquitoes increases here in the evening. After returning from job, people also come here for a walk in the evening. Many people come with their families. Due to the abundance of mosquitoes here, there is a possibility of diseases like dengue.
Many plants dry up due to lack of care
Many saplings were planted by the Municipal Corporation outside the park. To protect it from animals, mesh boundaries were also installed around the plant. Many plants have also dried up. Some are in bad shape. Local people say that the plants that are left have survived due to the winter season as they do not require regular watering.
However, these plants do not get regular water or care. That’s why the plants are drying up. People say that plants are definitely planted to show or to set up a budget, but later they dry up due to lack of care.
