She said that Sivaji Park, spread over 20 acres in Zone III, has a special significance since a long time and is a hangout spot for the locals, walkers, elderly persons and children. It has all the amenities, but the maintenance is very poor, she said.
“The fountain, walking tracks, seating chairs, electric lights are completely damaged. A number of unwanted plants have grown here. Who will come to the park if the amenities are in such a condition?” she asked the officials.
The Mayor directed the authorities to repair the fountain immediately. All the amenities which were damaged should be revamped. She also directed the officials to cut the unwanted plants and develop proper greenery. She also asked the officials to complete all the repair works in a month.
Assistant Director (Horticulture) M. Damodara Rao, Zonal Commissioner Siva Prasad and others were present.
