The weekend remained filled with fun and enthusiasm for the Ranchiites. Blessed with two back-to-back offs on Saturday and Sunday people spent time with family and children at parks and other recreational places.
As Independence Day got over on Saturday, people on Sunday got one more day to enjoy with their friends and family. Parks and restaurant were the perfect destination for the people. Huge crowd was seen in and around the parks in the city.
Although few people visited cinema hall to catch up the latest release but on the other hand maximum public visited parks and other picnic spots. Rush was also seen outside the shopping complexes and malls.
“I am posted in Bokaro but my family lives in Ranchi. This time I got to spent more time with my family members and what else can be the best thing than spending some quality time in this natural ambiance,” said Neeraj kumar, who visited the Aqua World with his family.
Not only for working class but also for kids this weekend was special. Theme based functions and shows was organised at different places. Parks were decorated accordingly. “I am here with my maternal uncle and aunty to participate in the quiz contest, I am just waiting to enroll my name in the list,” said Palak Singh.
“My daughter is participating in the drawing competition on the theme aaya sawan jhoom k. My entire family is here,” said Pankaj Dixit at Aqua World. The festival like mood also brought cheers for park managers. “We are getting very positive response from the people, as the ticket charge is also nominal here. We often have huge crowd in the evening on Sunday but this time due two days holiday people have turned up in vast number,” said the ticket collector at the Aqua World.
Management has made all proper arrangements for the visitors. Instructions and proper sign boards have been put so that a visitor does not face any problem. “My entire family was planning to come in the evening but since the weather is pleasant we came earlier. Both I and my husband are working people and this weekend is really special for both of us as we got more time to relax,” said Tulika Verma at Sido Kanhu Park.
Arrangement for security also there and presence of policemen can be seen at vulnerable places to avoid any mishaps. Numbers of security guards too have been increased at certain places to control rush. Small vendors and sellers have been instructed to put there stalls away from the parking zone.
Huge rush outside the hotels, restaurants and cafes can also be witnessed. Pleasant weather condition has also added to the enthusiasm of the people. People are using even public transportation to reach their favourite destinations.
“We don’t have personal vehicle and today we made a plan to visit Kanke Dam. We reserved one auto and we all managed to reach here,” said Rajan Tripathi who along with his family members was coming from Ratu to spend some time at Kanke dam. Even the rain could not hinder the tempo of common people.
