Of parks and neglect

March 21, 2018

Public parks are as important for a city as lungs are for a human being. However, the park near Khyaban-e-Muhafiz, Phase-VI, DHA has been abandoned by the concerned housing authority. The park has not been cleaned in years and has no facilities.

Years of neglect have turned the park into a dirty ground that affects the health of the people in the vicinity. Parks are meant to be a safe relaxing space for residents. However, this park is anything but that.
