Balaju baais dhara (Useless twenty-two taps)

When I was secondary school student, I used to visit Bajalu park with excitement. However, it is not the case now. The main attraction of the park was twenty-two stone sprouts and contineous flow of clean and clear water. The park still have such artestic and decorative taps, picnic areas, fish ponds, swiming pool and forest areas but ponds are without fish and taps are in complete dry condition. People used to take bath in the taps with cultural and religious belief and there are some songs especially made describing the taps. I could still see large number of visitors but I don't understand what the management does with the entry fee? It might be enough to give life to the area with the same income source.
