GreNo: Park in a shambles; Alpha 2 residents have nowhere to chill

Residents of Alpha-2 in Greater Noida are peeved over the fact that outsiders litter the park near the market of their society. Though a public park, they are very possessive about it owing to its proximity to them.

The park is already in a shambles with dried up ponds, unkempt plants, dried up foliage and the grass sparsly covering the ground in the absence of caretaker for its upkeep. Added to this are broken tiles and other construction material lying in a heap unattended in the park. 

The children's zone in the park is a picture of neglect with almost all the swings turned into mangled remains of rusting broken iron. Children have little interest in the park. 

With the litterbugs descending on the park it is sure to lose whatever is left of it.

People routinely come to the park to chill out, eat and throw the leftover and wrappers, polythene bags and other discards callously all over the park, laments a resident, Sushma Singh. “How can we purge the society of the effects of the polythene menace.

“I don’t understand why the authority and the people have washed their hands off the maintenance of the park,” she wondered.

The park has not been always like this. According to Sushma Singh, during its heydays, the park with lush green surroundings was a big draw for the people living in the vicinity. There was a time when it was known for its greenery.

It’s high time the concerned authorities took up the matter seriously and initiated some worthwhile steps to restore the park to its pristine glory.
