Mangalore: Kadri Park - Leisure spot turns into hotbed of undesirable activities

Mangalore, Aug 25: Kadri Park is the city’s largest park and has been a popular spot for joggers, and weekend leisure hub for families, especially children for the last many years. Unfortunately, now the park has become a favoured place for various kinds of illegal and undesirable activities.

At one corner of the park is a defunct well covered with an iron grill, which has now become a dump yard for thieves to dispose off of offering boxes stolen from religious centers. Though the park has an iron fence it can be breached at many spots, permitting entry to all and sundry from various sides of the park.

Moreover, there are no proper fences in place to prevent trespassers. As there is no adequate fencing thieves get into the park very easily. Though it is clearly displayed that smoking and alcohol is strictly prohibited, visitots often see quite a few smoking in broad daylight, not to mention the alcohol bottles strewn inside the premises.

An anonymous source said that though the toy train ‘Balamangala Express’ is parked in the tunnel inside Kadri Park, thieves have made off with its battery and radiator. This park has become a hotbed of illegal activities with the bronze accessories of fountains and CFL bulbs from park lights being stolen. Over the past few days the park is in complete darkness at night.

Weeds have grown densely, and there are used condoms and wrappers thrown indiscriminately around the park. Worse, Kadri Park has also become a spot for urinating in public.

Regular joggers and walkers at the park had complained that there are no proper lights, but no action has been taken. The administration has spent huge sums to cultivate the lawn but its condition is pathetic as it is overgrown with weeds.

There are several flower pots lying around in the park that are likely to aid mosquitoes to breed in the water collected in these. Already, the city has many cases of malaria and dengue and this kind of apathy will only abet the increase of mosquitoes.

The park has deteriorated and though the representatives assure of providing it a facelift, work is lagging. Kadri Park is in a mess and despite there being MLAs, an MP, and three ministers from the district, nobody is concerned about its pathetic condition.

    In mumbai the parks are all done up by the private business people. Hardly any parks are managed by the govt authorities. Same way give the park maintenance to business people then it will be looked after and managed properly.

    If I am not mistaken, it is the only one green lung out here which a common man can freely enter and enjoy its beauty, inhale pure air, and go for long walks with women and children!! So sad that all the green cover has bee already destroyed for building concrete structures anywhere and everywhere!!

    Considering this, a metro city like Mumbai, even though bursting to its seams, has a no. of parks spread across the city and one would be surprised that Mumbai is the only city in the world to boast of a National Park (SGNP) within its limits!!

    With destruction of most of nature where are we heading, and what sort of this "lopsided" happenings be called development or regression!! Jai Hind!

    I request the police commisioner of mangalore to take serious action towards this issue . But the privacy to the couples also must be given. Park is the place where u come with ur loved once or with family or friends to spend some free time and for relaxation. By judging this there must be a police booth near entrance of park. It can reduce illegal activities.

    Regular maintenance and security can bring it back to its past glory.

    Another drawback of this park is the main gate is kept locked even during visiting hours.Visitors have to enter through revolving gates.
    Two wheelers are parked just in front of the park blocking the entrance even though there is a clear sign "No Parking in front of the gate". To solve these problems, no MLA is needed but only civic sense in the visitors.

And we still don't find answer for this, then how we can call ourselves Dakshina Kannada is, Buddivantara Naadu (native of intellectuals). Huge disgrace to our city. State Revenues are simply being swallowed by Whales (chain of politicians)in the name of various projects. If we don't fight we will never see our state in a condition that we dream about. I call all the youth wings of all the districts to have a solid grip and act upon.

    We all love our MANGALORE. But when we speak about HSE (Health, Safety and Environment) the worst we find in and around Mangalore. Concerned authorities just study the following mess and take stringent actions wherever required and indulge in true developmental projects, then surely our MANGALORE will be more attractive.

    1) No hygiene or cleanliness is followed in most of the public places.

    2) No safety precautions are applied in roads and many other public places.

    3) No botheration about clean environments.

    4) Dumping the garbage at public places, urinating & illegal activities in public places, dogs are openly roaming in the roads causing public safety.

    5) No proper traffic rules are followed while driving.

    6) Speeding , wrong side and wreck less driving by the Private buses, auto rickshaws, two wheelers and some cars.

    7) Eradicate Corruption in various departments.

    8) No respect for the fellow human beings. Inculcate the mutual respect, trust and brotherhood among the fellow citizens irrespective of caste, creed, color or religion.

    9) Develop the roads and infrastructure and plan the developmental projects with a foresight example after 10 years what will be Mangalore, after 25 years what will be Mangalore and after 50 years what will be Mangalore.

    We truly love to see a peaceful, loving, cultured and clean MANGALORE.

For these companies maintain these parks will not be a big deal. Dont Expect such things from Govt, bcoz it has other preferential works to do.

In our beautiful city only this is the park where they can do lot of things for the people & also suites well for families & children because of the location, space & conveniences to the people.

    It is unfortunate that a park that has been built for recreational and work out purposes has been badly misused.

    Hope the corporation will take sufficient care and ensure that the place does not become a dumping ground and that adequate care is taken to eliminate breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

    Here is a case for the police to carry out unscheduled raids to ensure that the park is not used for immoral purposes.

    If I recall that when S.K. Das was the Deputy Commissioner, he had taken a lot of trouble to up-grade this spot and it is for the public and government to preserve the sanctity of the place.
