Akkithimanahalli playground is one of the public playground which BBMP claims is “developed” is changing its face from playground to parking lot. Now this ground is used most by vehicle owners than children. People in and around Richmond Town began to raise voice against using them as parking lot. One of the resident points that vehicle parked inside the playground is either of people working or residing in and around Richmond Town.
The fact is that playground is public space and cannot be encroached upon. BBMP has confirmed that the park is not sanctioned permission to park vehicle inside the playground. It also says that playground has no gate due to renovation and this made vehicle owners to park vehicle inside the playground and they will stop them using when the gate for playground is installed.
