HMDA Disputes Report on Lumbini Park's Condition
Imagine a park that many people visit, like a popular playground.
The government says it's clean and well-maintained.
However, a news reporter went to the park and saw that it wasn't as clean as it should be, even though lots of people went there.
The old play equipment was removed because it was broken, and there were issues with cleanliness.
The government plans to fix things like the bathrooms, water areas, and fences, but the news reporter disagreed with their claims about the park's condition.
