The decision came during the monthly House, when a councillor of the civic body, Dr Minakshi Gangopadhyay, brought up the subject, saying that entry at night is adversely affecting the atmosphere of the parks.
As claimed by the councillor, various kinds of people from different areas are entering into the parks and then carrying out anti-social activities.
