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.
HMDA claims Lumbini Park is regularly cleaned and maintained.
HMDA stated a proposal is underway to revamp all parks, including Lumbini Park.

Deccan Chronicle's report highlighted the park's poor condition despite high visitor numbers.
The HMDA admitted to poor upkeep by planning repairs to toilets, water dispensers, and railings.
