Are our kids sliding through joys or hazards?

Are our kids sliding through joys or hazards?

Citizen Farheen Shah Navelim

Slides can be fun but could also be life-threatening, if not installed properly or maintained just like the one at the Colva beach. Kudos for the recreation, the play area provides to the kids and enhances the aesthetics of Colva beach. But out of so many pairs of slarent and has to be rectified. Looks like, it is on the brink of wreckage with every passing day. It could be a means of uninvited injuries if the child is unattended by its parents! 

As a parent I was like a hawk, watching every move of my child on this particular slide, lest my children would end up with coarse injuries. It would be appreciated if the concerned authorities intervene in the matter and take necessary measures for the relative safety, cleanliness and maintenance of the slides for the relative safety, cleanliness and maintenance of the slides for the smooth fun and frolic of our kids.
