BENGALURU: For the last 50 days, Manjunath B.P has been looking for a scope to sneak out for a quick walk at Cubbon Park, one of the largest breathing spaces in Bengaluru.
The barricades, police and security presence around the park forced the 26-year old to walk on the road around Vidhana Soudha, the state legislature and secretariat building. "Finally I can run inside the park again," said Manjunath, whose morning walk has been a daily routine for the last four years.
Kumkum Malhotra, a senior citizen, is just happy that she can finally take her three dogs to the park. She was one of few who were allowed into the park to feed dogs during the lockdown but not her own mutts.
