VALPOI
The children’s park which was set up near the Kadamba bus stand in Valpoi remains neglected by authorities concerned. Parents and public are left disappointed as the main gate of the garden has been locked by the officials depriving children of their rightful play area.
Left with no choice children enter the garden by jumping over the compound wall. Some of the parents have raised this issue with the local MLA Vishwajeet Rane.
Following demand from parents, the park was set up four years back. Many structural equipment were set up to make the park more entertaining for children by spending crores.
But over a period of time the park has gone into neglect and maintenance is completely lacking People are complaining anti-social elements make the park their den during late hours. Sometimes presence of these elements deters parents from taking their children there
For the last eight days the main gate of the park is locked for no reason. There is no other facility for children in the town. Aggrieved parents have demanded opening of the gate so that their children can play during their holidays. Authorities should be very serious and particular about the facilities available in the town for the children.
Rajendar Gaonkar from Velus village and a parent Vithal dhuri have expressed their displeasure over the dilapted condition, given the fact that a visionary leader like Vishwajeet Rane is heading the constituency.
