Condescension of Nehru Park

That Nehru Park condescends to the runners of Delhi, should surely be known to us. Surely there is scarcely a city in the world where you can run past dozens of high profile embassies and high commissions. This is one of the most secure areas in Delhi. This isn’t just a handful of runners off sidewalk but hundreds if not thousands of runners during the weekend populating Niti Marg, Nyaya Marg, Vinay Marg, Panchsheel Marg, and Shanti Path. This extends to Akbar Road, Rajpath, Prithviraj and Aurangzeb Road and indeed Race Course too. The ‘route’ for the Prime Minister and other dignitaries are often formed in exactly these roads but the police seem reasonably benevolent or rather condescend to the needs of the everyday running enthusiast. This is New Delhi.
