Sunit Sigh, a resident of Aditi Apartment, said, “We are getting the gym late in our society as we were searching a suitable place in the park to install all the machines. Now that we have cleared a space in the park for the machines, the gym has become a reality. It will be functional from Sunday after a formal inauguration by Deputy Chief Minister and MLA from the area, Mr. Manish Sisodia.”
