BHOPAL: The park which was developed at Bhavani Home phase-2j has been encroached by a temple constructed at a large area reducing the park to half of what it earlier was.
Earlier, children used to play cricket, football in the park. But with construction of the shrine, it is not possible for children to play games. It is matter of religious so no one dares to speak against such construction.
A section of local residents have views that with the construction of the temple, area has been reduced but on other hand, park has been maintained. Earlier, it was just like a deserted plot.
However, onus lies on local residents to look into matter for conservation of the park for welfare of colony. Otherwise, other constructions will also occur which no one can stop.
Anil Ahirwar
“With construction of the temple, the priest maintains the park. It is fine that despite the park has been reduced leaving no room for children to play but it has been maintained to great extent.”
Hemant Raikwar
“Earlier, we used to play cricket with friends but not now. It is just because of construction of temple. But as it is matter related to religion so no one dares to speak against it.”
Mayank Jathav
“With the construction, children get no space to play. There is already space crisis and once park is developed, it should be properly maintained. It should also be responsibility of the local residents.”
Raju Upane
“Park should be developed for local residents and children. If area is reduced due to any reason, it is not justified. Space and scope for amusement is badly affected. The main purpose of the park is diminished with construction and encroachment.”
