The decision to charge entry fee at the Naroda Lake has left the Congress in the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) fuming.
The Opposition party has termed the move as cruel. Leader of Opposition in the AMC Surendra Baxi and former mayor Himmatsinh Patel in a statement said that AMC should not make open recreational spaces a means to earn money.
"The civic body's move to come up with more recreational space for citizens is laudable. There is a dearth of public space in the city and so implementing entry fee at such lakes especially in an area inhabited by middle class is not a good idea," said Baxi.
