The fight back for open space is really a matter of making moving things in proper way. The way protesters played cricket in BMC office is a step in the right direction to show the dissent. Occupation of open space is taking place in every nook and corner of the city and it is high time that the public should have open space for playing and for going for walks in the early morning hours and in the evening. The policy agreed by Corporators needs to be recalled so as to give the people a sigh of relief. By sending representations and signing on a memorandum will air the views of the people in this regard. The copy can be marked to the Chief Minister as a preventive measure and to give a fair chance to get back the open space. Open space policy is for the benefit of builders, bureaucrats and politicians and serves no useful purpose of the people in the Metro city.
