Lack of irrigation is turning them into dry lands: Bharadwaj
The Aam Aadmi Party on Thursday attacked the BJP over the “bad” condition of parks in the city, and alleged that they are drying up despite Delhi government’s offer to provide water. AAP chief spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj said that under 14 years of BJP rule, the corporations have ruined the Capital’s parks. “The lack of irrigation is turning these parks into dry lands. Saplings that would have potentially turned into big trees tomorrow are not able to fully bloom and trees too are drying up. This single mishap by the civic bodies has halted the efforts taken by the residents of Delhi to curb pollution. It has undone the work done by the Delhi government in collaboration with the people in the last five years. This step is also distancing the people of Delhi from their 18,000 public parks,” the AAP leader said.More Related News
