Delhi BJP seeks reopening of parks, gardens

New Delhi: Leader of the opposition in Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri on Monday said the unlocking exercise in Delhi was not well planned by Delhi government due to which many people were suffering. Expressing surprise at the closure of parks even though all markets and malls, including restaurants with 50% capacity, have been permitted to open, Bidhuri demanded immediate opening of parks and gardens in the capital.
“Parks are used by people from all walks of life for health benefits.They take a walk in parks and do exercises as part of their fitness regime. It is unfortunate that the Delhi government has decided to keep parks shut while malls and liquor shops have been permitted to open without any hindrance,” said Bidhuri.
The BJP functionary urged lieutenant governor Anil Baijal and chief minister Arvind Kejriwal to take an immediate decision to open parks and open spaces so that people can resume their morning and evening walk and other fitness activities. All Covid-19 norms should be followed while allowing parks and other open spaces to be open for the public,” said Bidhuri.
Bidhuri suggested that restrictions on use of open gyms in parks can be issued while allowing the parks to open. “Even doctors and experts advise that parks and open spaces are much safer than the closed auditoriums or closed spaces when it comes to Covid spread” he said.
