Very nice place to spend time. In the morning lot of people come here to do morning walk, exercises, swimming and other health related activities.

But in the evening this place becomes a very dirty place because lot of so called love birds come here and make open love which makes the eye sore. It is quite possible that most of the girls are pro*tutes. As most of the lights are switched off during the evening because of the birds in the trees so this place becomes a dirty work field for the so called love birds. If security and admin look into this it will be a nice place during evening too.

Now a days I can see this place became with the garbages thrown by some people. These are not the persons who come here in the morning for walking and chatting with each other. But outside people when they come this place they have the junk foods and throw the plastic packets, plastic water bottles, sometimes liquor bottles at this place.

This place is also become a place for taking Ganza and other such things during evening.

The water in the lake has also become very dirty. That needs to be cleaned regularly.

Requesting the authority to look into these problems seriously and take necessary action.
