Park converts into field of cattle in Hafizabad

Hafiz Aziz-ur-Rehman

HAFIZABAD: A recreational park which had been laid between the District Complex and Q.B. Link Canal Feeder has been converted into grazing fields of cattle, safe haven of gamblers and addicts mainly due to negligence and indifference of the Forest Department.

The district government had laid the park on 16 acres after spending more than Rs. 100 million about seven years ago but failed to construct boundary wall as a result of which the park has been occupied by the gypsies. After developing the park it had been handed over to the Forest Department which miserably failed to develop it with ornamental flowers and planting trees.

Local citizens have called upon the authorities to fix responsibility for wasting public money, vacate the park from unauthorized occupants, build boundary wall and ensure proper facilities in the park to provide pleasant atmosphere to the citizens.
