To: The Municipal Commissioner, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India

Without any prior public consultation, a contractor, hired by the local Municipal Corporation of Ghaziabad, broke the boundary wall of its central park with a mini-forest created with lots of hard work, time and money by the local community, in the night a few days back. This 'robbery' was conducted by the Municipal Corporation officials to set up a 600-ft deep unauthorized borewell and subsequently a water tank and water treatment facility that has already destroyed hundreds of trees and will turn this thriving green park and mini -forest into a barren land.

Kindly stall the work till we the process of public consultation to resolve the problems is completed.

Signatory,

All RWAs and Citizens in the Tikona Park area (~ 40,000 households) for whom this mini forest is the central lung space, walking and yoga zone and emotional connection
