Somebody needs to tell the civic body that a large play area for children and an open stormwater drain don't mix. It seems the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is waiting for an accident to happen at Shahid Vijay Salaskar Udyan near Poonam Nagar in Jogeshwari East — the place boasts of a dedicated section for kids with attractive play equipment and also has a stormwater drain that has been lying uncovered for a while.

When mid-day visited the place recently and spoke to the locals to understand their problems with the garden, a positive nest of nastiness emerged.
