Liquor Parties On Temple Steps: Swawlambi Nagar Ground Turns Into Booze Den Residents of Swawlambi Nagar in Nagpur have raised serious concerns about the deteriorating condition of a public recreational space in Prabhag 37, which they claim has become a hub for anti-social activities due to alleged neglect by local authorities. The area, previously maintained by the Jeevanchhaya Society and now reportedly under the Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT), has reportedly turned into a hotspot for late-night drinking, littering, and other violations. According to locals, the ground has become a frequent gathering spot for drunkards who consume alcohol openly on benches intended for children and parents. These gatherings often extend into the early hours of the morning, leaving the premises littered with broken liquor bottles, tobacco sachets, disposable cups, food waste, and soft drink cans. This has created significant inconvenience for morning walkers, yoga enthusiasts, and families who rely on the space for recreation. The situation has reportedly escalated further when liquor bottles were allegedly found on the steps of the Maruti (Hanuman) temple located within the ground premises. Citizens have expressed outrage over the desecration of the temple area, which is considered sacred. They also highlighted the frequent occurrence of public urination near the compound wall, which they argue has severely impacted the sanctity of the temple and the safety of nearby residents. Residents have claimed that repeated complaints to police and civic authorities over the years have yielded only temporary relief. They allege that the ground suffers from a lack of security, supervision, and regular maintenance, which has allowed unchecked anti-social behavior to persist.#nagpur #nagpur_improvement_trust #swawlambi_nagar #jeevanchhaya_society #maruti_temple
