Malleshwaram Residents Revive Bengaluru's Aane Park Amid Credit Dispute
Residents of Bengaluru's Malleshwaram area collaborated with civic agencies and NGOs to revive Aane Park, neglected for nearly two decades. The cleanup involved clearing large amounts of garbage, restoring playground equipment, and planting trees. While residents crowdfunded and organized the effort, a banner featuring BJP MLA CN Ashwathnarayan claiming credit sparked disappointment among volunteers. The community plans to inaugurate the park soon and maintain it through a resident committee, emphasizing shared responsibility for its upkeep.
