Morning walkers demanded close watch on park by police so as to put a curb upon the anti social elements who are not only destroying the beauty of the park but also bringing disgrace to the name of the Martyr. They have appealed to DC Udhampur Dr Shahid Iqbal to take due measures and instruct the law enforcing agencies to keep a vigil around the park to check the menace of drugs addicts activities in the park.
