Dhanbad’s lone amusement park lying in shambles Employees not paid salaries for over four months, non-operational facilities hit the most
Birsa Munda Park – the sole amusement park of Dhanbad, set over 24 acres of land in Nawadih is in poor condition due to poor maintenance and lack of income from ticket sales. The park, established in2009, had been closed for 11 months due to the pandemic.
As many as 27 employees of the park including 10 gardeners; two sweepers, ticket clerks, jhula operators, a manager, and 11 other park staff have not received their salary for the past three months.
Similar is the condition of the 12 food outlets situated inside the park. Even after the park reopening, around ten of them are lying closed, as the owners have been unable to pay the pending rent of 11 months. The park management has asked them to clear their dues for the ‘closure period’ too.
