The new sets of rules and restrictions in Cubbon Park -- Bengaluru's largest green space -- have put off the locals and netizens alike.
While Indian cities, especially the metropolitan ones, suffer from the lack of accessible public spaces, these new rules curbing activities like playing, eating, taking pictures or videos or even sitting close to your partners seem nothing but ridiculous.
According to reports, the security guards in the park have been orally instructed to ensure that visitors don't 'spoil the park's ambience'. And for the past month, the guards have been patrolling the park, blowing whistles, and policing those who according to them are violating these rules.
