Children being harassed and denied entry to the colony park


Sir/Ma'am,


This is w.r.t. to harassment faced by children in our colony.
Details:
K-block, Jangpura Extension, New Delhi-110014.

They have been threatened, abused and harassed over playing football and other sports in the park. This issue has cropped up time and again, for the past 6-7 years. However, there has been no resolution to this tussle. Certain individuals who have no power or authority whatsoever have been bothering the children and scaring them away. At night, they switch off the lamp posts that have been installed in the park without permission, thereby violating rules and also causing complete darkness in and around the areas surrounding the park.

This has been going on for quite some time and is adding to the security concerns of the residents. Also, the aforementioned individuals bring their own personal pedestal fans to the park every evening and plug it into the power source meant for the lamp posts. They are in a way stealing electricity even while they rob off the children of their basic rights. However such discriminate treatment is also selective. 30 year old men can sit in the park and drink beer, 65+ years old ladies can use pedestal fans running on electricity that they dont pay for, but 10-19 year old children are not allowed to play. Also, how is cricket allowed inside a park where football is forbidden? There is no logic involved in their arguments against children's sports.

Please look into the above mentioned matter.
Thank you.
