KHEL GAON - RELAY FAST ON 5TH MARCH FROM 11 AM ONWARDS ... PROTECT PUBLIC GREENS, STOP NOISE POLLUTION, DESTRUCTION OF HERITAGE

PRESS RELEASE
Residents of many colonies in South Delhi like Gulmohar Park, Panchsheel, Hauz Khas, Anand Lok, Niti Bagh, Shahpur Jat and Khel Gaon have been battling for 16 long years against the misappropriation of a district Park by a single Banquet hall owner ‘Asiad Banquets’ who had got the Tower restaurant and a small piece of land around it on lease in nexus with DDA, but proceeded to occupy an entire District Park at the entrance of Asian Games Village by manipulations with DDA officials, posting their security guards at the entrance. This is in violation of the Master Plan in which it is continues to be a DISTRICT PARK.
This is resulting in following problems for the residents :
PROTECT PUBLIC GREENS
We are enclosing photographs of when it was a Park 20 years ago and how it was slowly misappropriated, to which entry of public has been banned. Public land is now in possession of a private person. Many children used to play in this Park.
STOP NOISE POLLUTION
Apart from inability to use the Park there is immense noise pollution all nights from many weddings with loud music and crackers effecting the health of citizens.
Thousands of calls to the Police have no effect.
AVOID TRAFFIC JAMS
Hundreds of cars are parked inside the park and cause huge traffic jams outside also to the residents, including hindered movement of Ambulances. In short every night is a nightmare in this otherwise peaceful area.
We call upon the media for their support to help us in this crisis.
DESTRUCTION OF HERITAGE
The 14th Century Siri Fort Wall and Bulbul Ki Masjid is inside which has been taken inside his boundary wall including the ASI plaque. It was earlier open on the road.
LOCALS WILL KEEP RELAY FAST ON 5TH MARCH FROM 11 AM ONWARDS.
WE ARE HOLDING A  ON WEDNESDAY MARCH 5th AND WOULD REQUEST YOU TO KINDLY COVER THIS. WE WILL BE VERY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
