' SAVE OUR PARK 'SHIV VATIKA'

We have a beautiful park in Shalimar Bagh covering 4000 sq.mts. which has about 80 fully grown trees of eucalyptus,peepul, neem etc..where at least 300 people come daily for walking, exercising, jogging,pranayam,yoga and martial arts. People ranging from 1yr to 90 yrs old come here.
There are a number of activities and clubs here. "Senior citizens club", "Ladies Yoga Class","Spiritual Discourses group" are just a few of them.
In short, this park is the lifeline of people living around here.
There is a proposal to build an underground multistoreyed car park here about which the residents have come to know only through newspaper clippings! Imagine that...its like getting to know that your daughter is married from your neighbour when she is still living in your house!

No consultations and discussions were made with the local residents about the parking lot – it
was a unilateral decision. The residents were in the dark and had no idea about this proposal.

PLEDGE your support now and raise your voice!
