Another playground 'taken over' to build Indira Canteen

Another playground seems to have become victim of the government’s Indira Canteen project.

A part of the playground on Malleswaram 18th cross has been ‘taken over’ by BBMP to build an Indira Canteen, the subsidised food outlet.

Many playgrounds and plots initially allotted for building public amenities have been given to BBMP to construct Indira Canteens.

Not only a part of the Malleswaram playground has been ‘taken over,’ but a few branches of an old Gulmohar tree also have been cut to facilitate the construction of the canteen. When asked about the work, the BBMP area engineer refused to comment.
