Breakage, dilapidated equipment imperils locals at Andheri West park; work begins on repairs

Children’s play equipment is broken
The Sant Dnyaneshwar Park at Andheri (West), located in the Azad Nagar post office lane, had been calling out for attention and action. Locals who use the park for their morning and evening walks and recreation pointed out the poor state of the garden. Some tiles on the walking pathway shook like a loose tooth, ready to fall off.
“People are in danger of tripping and falling, and in fact have to look down to where they are stepping while walking or they might trip and if fast, even sail through the air before falling,” said senior citizens, when this reporter visited the park early morning. There was one toilet, which gave off an odour, and was locked from one side. “It is unusable because it is very dirty,” said the walkers.
