Based on these SOPs, urban local bodies have been asked to rate all parks in respective cities / towns based on infrastructure availability, maintenance of park premises and equipment and feedback from visitors.

Urban Local Bodies have also been asked to undertake periodic assessment of availability of equipment and cleanliness for correctional interventions.
