SoBo's seniors got a Republic Day gift on January 26. A 2,000 square feet garden has given lungs to an area that has heavy construction work ongoing for the Metro III project. The Senior Citizens Park was opened on Sunday at Cuffe Parade, opposite the Taj-President hotel, amid flying tricolours and R-Day meetings everywhere.

The plot that was lying barren for years has been turned into a lush green activity zone for the senior citizens, with a walking track, benches for resting and a gazebo.
