Jaisinghpur Playground Battle: Residents Vow High Court Fight
Jaisinghpur residents launched a fervent protest on Saturday, September 6, 2025, against the government’s plan to construct government buildings, including an indoor stadium, on their cherished historic playground. The community views the playground as crucial for social harmony and local well-being.
The protest stems from concerns that the construction will further encroach upon the already shrinking play area. Years of gradual encroachment have significantly reduced its size, leaving residents with little space for recreation.
Residents vehemently oppose the project, asserting that the playground’s social value far outweighs the proposed development. They are demanding an immediate halt to all construction plans.
The community intends to escalate their fight, appealing to both the High Court and local authorities to protect their vital community space. This case highlights the ongoing struggle between development and the preservation of vital community assets across India. The outcome will set a significant precedent for similar disputes in other towns and cities.
