Lokmat News NetworkChhatrapati Sambhajinagar:To encourage the children and students for physical activities and de-addicting them from electronic gadgets and mobile phones, the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Municipal Corporation (CSMC) has decided to develop Open Spaces in the city and convert them into playgrounds under the ‘Chala Khelu Ya’ scheme. The civic administration has launched a drive to remove encroachments from at least 150 open spaces situated in different housing societies in the city.It is mandatory for each layout of the housing society to reserve open space in their jurisdiction. The CSMC Town Planning section approves the file only after going through the maps and conducting a spot inspection. The open space has to be handed over to the municipal corporation, but in the last 30 years, the TP section has sanctioned hundreds of layouts but had not paid heed towards taking the open spaces into possession. The civic officers gear up for action only when they receive any complaints from the residents about the encroachments upon the open spaces. It has been observed that taking advantage of the lethargy of civic officials, many pucca constructions or buildings had been constructed on many of the open spaces.Meanwhile, the municipal corporation under the scheme - Chala Khelu Ya - (Come, Let Us Play) has decided to free the open spaces from encroachments and provide open space for playing to the children of the cluster of housing societies. In the first phase, after the successful implementation of the scheme, the CSMC has plan to provide various amusement items and fun games at these open spaces under corporate social responsibility (CSR).Two open spaces freedThe aim of the scheme is to distract minor children, and youths from gadgets and encourage them for playing and indulging in physical (sports) activities.
