Playgrounds in the Old City of Hyderabad have become a gathering spot for troublemakers. Recently, youth engaging in bad behavior like fighting, drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, and even using drugs have been causing problems in these areas.
Residents of HIG Colony in Santoshnagar phase-III have been dealing with these issues on a daily basis. The colony was built in 1995 with all expenses covered by the residents. The parks and playgrounds within the colony were meant for the residents’ use, but people from outside areas have been causing disturbances, especially at the playground near the Old Santoshnagar police station.
Residents have been facing trouble from these troublemakers both during the day and at night. Despite complaints to the police, no action has been taken to address the issue. The misuse of the playground has become a serious concern for the residents.
The residents have observed people consuming alcohol and drugs, fighting, using foul language, and disturbing the peace in the area. This behavior has led to concerns about potential law and order problems in the future. Some residents have even experienced damage to their property when trying to confront these troublemakers.
Efforts have been made to address the issue, including complaints to local authorities and the police. However, no significant action has been taken to resolve the problem. Residents are worried about the safety of their community and are calling for authorities to take action to address the misuse of the playground by outsiders.
