Mangalore : Mangalore South MLA J R Lobo said that special play area will be constructed for differently abled children at Kadri Park on Oct 14, Tuesday.

Speaking at the press meet, Lobo said that the fund of Rs 15 lakhs have been sanctioned for the purpose from the MLA fund. Kadri park is the biggest park in Mangalore and special park will be very helpful for the differently abled children.

He also said that, a smaller park with the same concept has been set up at Gandhi Nagar park with the estimated amount of Rs 5 lakhs.

Lobo urged the donors to donate the money for the repair of damaged equipment.

Kala Deepak, mother of a differently abled child said that the MLA’s idea must be appreciated since only a parent of such a kid can know the trauma and the pain the children experience as they are kept isolated from the society.

Architect Venkatesh Pai is in charge of the project. The special park will be open in three months to special children.
