Mysuru: Amid the ‘Swachh Bharat’ campaign and ‘Swachh Survekshan’ survey, a neglected park in the city has got converted into a ‘Parthenium park’ with parthenium weed plants growing in it uncontrolled.
This park is located on Maruti Temple Road in Kuvempunagar coming under MCC Ward 47. Parthenium plants have grown big in this park, posing skin allergy risks to both humans and animals. Though no ornamental, flowering or fruit bearing plant can be found in this park, one can find parthenium weeds everywhere, which is called as a park only for namesake.
