Rusty old play equipment lying unattended, in a haphazard manner at Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Garden in Pantnagar, Ghatkopar, has become a cause for concern for parents. The locals claim that the renovation work of the park has been stopped mid-way and the playground equipment that has been lying dangerously, can cause injuries to children.

The angry residents have written to the civic body appealing to complete the revamp work soon. “As the park is close to my house, my child plays there with his friends every day. A few days ago, I found all the iron equipment placed on the side uncovered. This can cause injuries to children. Now, I do not send my child if there is no one to supervise,” said Swati Arun, a mother of a 14-year-old.
