Hyderabad morning walkers\' association questions Rs 50 entry fee to KBR Park

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: Morning walkers living in the vicinity of the KBR Park and the Gandipet Eco-Park are an outraged lot over the allegedly exorbitant entry fee of Rs 50 charged by the parks, claiming that people are being put off of healthy lives due to the same. Anusha Batchu, who decided to visit the KBR National Park every morning as part of her New Year’s resolution, said, “With this ticket price, I will have to shell out around Rs 18,000 per year just to be able to have a peaceful morning walk. Many residents living in the vicinity of these two parks said that the entry fee to most other parks in the city was Rs 10-15, with popular ones, such as the Melkote Park in Himayatnagar charging Rs 5, the Durgam Cheruvu Park charging Rs 10 and others, including Indira Park, Bio-Diversity Park, Oxygen Park and AB Ground Park not charging an entry fee. A few, however, said that an entry fee of Rs 50 was acceptable due to its national park status.
