Karnataka high court’s idea of parking at Cubbon Park irks many

The proposal by the high court to create parking arrangements for public litigants in a stretch of Cubbon Park has raised concerns among walkers, joggers, and heritage activists. They are now planning to approach the HC registrar-general to advocate for a traffic-free park. The registrar-general has instructed the police, horticulture department, and PWD to establish parking space and submit a compliance report. The proposal has sparked worries about the safety of children visiting Bal Bhavan and the government museum in the area. A previous recommendation in 2020 had suggested banning motorized traffic and parking in the park.
