Even after the passage of nearly two months, the Municipal Corporation has failed to repair a caved-in portion of a park in Sector 33-A.

Due to the cave-in, a segment of the iron grill had also given way, posing a threat to residents, especially children. However, the authorities have failed to take remedial measures.

Wing Commander SK Ahluwalia (retd), a resident, says: “Initially, it was a small pit. The MC got it filled with sand, but following rain, it caved in further. Despite repeated complaints, the damaged portion has not been repaired.” He adds: “Small children play in the vicinity. It poses a big risk to them. Is the MC waiting for an accident to happen? They must take preventive measures.”
