Traders from the Gol Market in Ludhiana, Punjab, India, have once again reached out to the Punjab State Human Rights Commission regarding the ongoing neglect of a nearby park. They allege that the park has suffered from a lack of maintenance for the past six months, leading to poor sanitation, a damaged walkway, and unhygienic toilets. Despite multiple complaints to the municipal corporation, no significant cleaning or repair work has been conducted. This issue has been exacerbated by the foul odor emanating from the toilets, particularly during rain. The commission had previously issued a show-cause notice to municipal commissioner Neeru Katyal in March, demanding an explanation for the lack of action. The next hearing is scheduled for June 12. Traders emphasize that the deteriorating condition of this public space reflects poorly on the city's management, impacting the experience of visitors and local residents alike.
