Municipal Corporation Of East Delhi — Destruction of plants and greenery in park no. 12 opposite Arya Samaj Mandir, Block-D, Anand Vihar, Delhi

Address:

East Delhi

Please be apprised that there is a park no. 12 in front of Arya Samaj Mandir, D Block Anand Vihar Delhi owned by Municipal Corporation of Delhi which was full of plants and greenery but it has been deteriorated due to certain bad elements and neglect of local municipal authorities.

There is a lot of nuisance in the park due to unauthorized activities of certain people during late night by playing volleyball, football etc. This not only destroy the greenery of the park but also creating lot of hindrance for the local residents (including ladies, children and senior citizens) to use the park for walking and other peaceful activities. Most of the plants including green hedge have been intentionally removed for creating ground for playing. They have made the environment dusty by removing the grass from the park. Apart from that they are causing damages to the nearby houses by hitting the ball on the glasses and the senior local residents are also scared of them as they are not able to walk in the park due to fear of being injured by the hard balls. Moreover, they are also not following the norms and taking precautions prescribed for COVID-19.

All local residents including senior citizens and students are finding themselves very disturbed and uncomfortable due to lot of noises being created in the park in the late nights.
Moreover, certain bad elements are intentionally keeping the entry gate of park open during late night for allowing street dogs to further damage the plants.

The bad elements are also intentionally cutting the wires of the submersible pump to avoid any watering in the park and also removing the water pipes installed inside the iron mesh enclosure inside the park. This act is directly damaging the public property and plants in the park and is unlawful.

We have attached some of the photographs which clearly displays the condition of the plants in the park.

Further, we have also taken up the matter with the local officials of Municipal Corporation of Delhi but we are not getting any positive response therefore it is immense need to take cognizance of the matter and serve the notice to relevant authorities to take immediate action for greenery and beautification of the park and nearby area.

This complain is for the betterment and livelihood of the local residents.
