Smritiban Park Controversy: Puja Committee vs. Walkers

Smritiban Park Controversy: Puja Committee vs. Walkers

A park in New Town, called Smritiban, became the center of a disagreement.

A group wanted to set up a religious event in the park, but the people who walk there every morning were against it.

The walkers were worried the event would damage the trees and quiet environment.

The organizers said they needed a spot for their event, as they did not have their own place.

After the walkers complained, the group had to move their event to a nearby street.

The issue showed different views on using the park's space and what matters more: the park’s quietness or having the puja there.
