Cubbon Reads, the reading group whose Secret Santa event in Cubbon Park led to the detaining of its organisers by the police and Horticulture Department officials, is now mulling to take the legal path by bringing together other groups and individuals who have faced similar problems in the park. The organisers said in an Instagram post that following their experience at the park, many others reached out to them and shared that they were also affected by similar issues.
“We always wanted to remain a community, not turn into an organisation, but if needed, we will form an association and work towards filing a PIL for making parks more accessible for all creative activities, whether done solo or in a group,” the statement said.
