Navi Mumbai residents are upset as the civic body continues to keep parks closed while Mumbai has opened them from 5am to 9am, reports B B Nayak. The NMMC said the city has over 200 gardens and it will be challenging to control crowds.
“It is unjust to keep gardens and parks closed while giving relaxations for other activities. When all indoor and outdoor activities are operational, why are gardens shut for morning joggers? asked fitness buff Prakash Rao.
“We are not going to take a risk… thousands flock to the parks/gardens every morning and evening. Maintaining social distance will be a problem. We are in control of the situation and gardens will remain shut till further review,” said an NMMC official.
