Ramna Children's Park Welcomes All But Children
Picture

Children in the city have virtually nowhere to go for recreation unless their parents take them to some highly paid amusement parks or fast food shops. The few children's parks in the city are in reality inaccessible to children. These parks are mainly home to sex workers, vagabonds, addicts, vandals and beggars. The Ramna children's park in the city is no exception. The picture shows three young men occupy a slide at the Ramna children's park to stare at mothers who try to find a moment of recreation for their children. Many families who arrive at the park are forced to leave in the face of such nuisance. PHOTO: Syed Zakir Hossain
