We have several visitors every day, including students, who come to the park to learn about traffic rules and regulations,” said an official at the Traffic Park on condition of anonymity. He said the park’s electricity connection was snapped around five months ago.
“Some electricity payment was to be made but the maintenance of the traffic park was handed over to HUDA from the police department. it has been months since the park was handed over, but the electricity bill has not been paid,” said a traffic police official.
Reema Sharma, a resident of Sector 4, who was visiting the park, said, “The entire purpose of the park gets defeated in the absence of an electricity connection. I brought my two children here so that they could learn a little more about how traffic lights function and could gain a little more knowledge about traffic rules...”.
HUDA Horticulture Superintendent Engineer Jogi Ram said the Horticulture wing is responsible only for the maintenance part of the park. He said the SE, Electrical is responsible for paying the electricity bill. HUDA Estate Officer Monika Malik said she will soon get the park’s electricity connection restored.
