Srinagar: With the authorities
claiming to have dewatered major areas of Srinagar city, the Pratap Park at Lal
Chowk seems to be nullifying the claims with its major portion virtually
turning into a cesspool.
Pratap Park is famous for being in the limelight because
of being a common place for almost all major protest rallies in Srinagar and
being in vicinity to the press enclave in Kashmir. People while expressing
serious concern over the issue, told KNS that the main problem with the
authorities here is that they never bothered to take appropriate measures to
dewater the park. People coming back disappointed with the condition of the
Park added further that a major portion of the park is still inundated eve when
the weather has shown a marked improvement for the last few days.
“If this is the condition of Kashmir’s one of the famous
parks, you can imagine what the rest would be going through,” said a student
while trying to cross through its sideways.
SMC recently claimed that it has relieved most of the
areas from the issues of water lodging and that also most of the parts of the
city have been dewatered.
After the repeated attempts, the contact with the
concerned officials was not established. (KNS)
