Children's parks in Delhi like death traps, court told

"All the swings, slides and other facilities are in bad condition. From all the swings, nails are coming out. Its a death trap condition there," he said.

The court had taken suo motu cognizance of the letter written by Supreme Court judge Kurian Joseph asking it to take up the issue appropriately so that children get a "congenial atmosphere in these parks befitting their age and dignity".

Justice Joseph, after visiting two children's parks at India Gate and Lake Park near Sarojini Nagar recently and seeing their deplorable condition, expressed displeasure that no responsible authority was maintaining those parks.
