Park named after a common man- an example of community integration in Dwarka

Dwarka: It was a gathering of more than 50 people at the Sports Park behind New Kanchenjunga Apartment, Sector 23 Dwarka this morning. Area Councillor Kamaljeet Sehrawat and SDMC officials along with the community people of the nearby societies and members of Sukh Dukh Ke Sathi, a social organisation, had gathered to name the park nearby. One would think it would be named after a famous person but was in fact, named after a common man.

Darshan Kumar, who was a resident of New Kanchenjunga Apartments was devoted to the development of the park. The park is now called 'Darshan Park.'

Darshan Kumar was a member of Sukh Dukh Ke Sathi(SDKS) who passed away a few months back. A board has been erected in the park with the name “Darsah Park”. The formal inauguration was done by the area councillor and the wife of Darshan Kumar.

She encouraged the community members and especially kids to be active in sports. She also asked people to join hands in the development of the area.

Vice president of SDKS, SS Mann in a word with CitySpidey says, “Recognising the services rendered by Darshan Kumar, our joint secretary in the development, maintenance and upkeep of this park, we have dedicated this space to him.
