Park Being Encroached

An 8-m wide public (MUDA) park parallel to the Mysore-Bangalore highway opposite Arabic College in Siddiqui Nagar separates the highway from the service road.

Now, an 8-m length of the park fencing has been broken on both sides exactly opposite "Prestige Convention Hall", apparently to provide direct access to that establishment from the highway. Thereby about 60 sq m of park land has been encroached.

Parks are public property and cannot be encroached for private use. MCC needs to immediately reclaim the park land and take appropriate action against the persons responsible for destroying public property.
