Residents of Jayanagar 5th Block Residents’ Welfare Association has complained to the BBMP commissioner that the Palike playground located at 38th Cross of Jayanagar has been rented out for non-sports activities.
In an appeal to the commissioner, the association said that the playground was being rented out for car melas, moto cross, entertainment and religious programmes. Children of the locality have been deprived of space to play on holidays.
The association has demanded a suitable policy to make playgrounds available for school children and not to rent them out for commercial events.
