THE Aga Khan Park in Block 7 of Clifton is a small municipal recreational green belt and the only facility available for the families of Bath Island and Clifton block-7.
To stop the misuse of parks, the Sindh government has imposed a ban on the holding of private functions in public parks. Unfortunately for the past few days, this park is being misused by some influential persons for organising a grand gala function.
For this purpose many full-grown trees have been cut or pruned to erect tents. Besides this the marble benches, swings and seesaws for children have been dismantled.
The families, including senior citizens who use the park, have been told by the organisers that the park is closed for a few days, therefore, they should not bother to visit the park.
The residents of Bath Island and Clifton request the chief minister to stop these intruders and save the public park from destruction.
