Neglected Avadi Park: Safety Concerns Rise Among Residents
Imagine a park that was once a nice place to visit, but now it's not so great.
This park has wild plants growing everywhere, like a jungle!
The bathrooms are dirty, and the fountain doesn't work.
There are even dangerous things like broken tiles and wires.
It's not safe because there are no cameras to watch over the area, and some people cause trouble there in the evenings.
People leave their bikes in the way, making it hard to get in and out.
Some people are worried because it's not safe, but someone from the local government said they would look into it.
A public park in Avadi is in a state of disrepair, creating safety risks.
The park, inaugurated in 2016, is overgrown with wild vegetation.
Residents report snakes, broken infrastructure, and non-functioning CCTV.
Antisocial elements make the park unsafe, especially in the evenings.
Lack of designated parking leads to blocked entry and exit points.
