Overcrowded Shaheed Minar

All kind of people are found spending time in and around the Shaheed Minar area all day. It is okay to hang out there since open places are becoming rare in the city these days. But when too many people hang out somewhere, the place runs the risk of being overcrowded. The vendors sell badam, jhalmuri, fried chips and ice cream. People eat food and leave the packets of chips, chocolates, puffed rice etc there, and definitely Shaheed Minar is not a place for doing this kind of things! I don't mean to say that people should refrain from visiting Shaheed Minar. One can definitely visit Shaheed Minar any time with friends and relatives but they must not disrespect the place. The authorities concerned should take steps to uphold the dignity of Shaheed Minar.
