The image exudes an air of resilience as men clad in work attire are seen wielding hammers with determination. Their faces etched with sweat and determination reflect the weighty responsibility they shoulder for their community's well-being. The landscape setting adds to the gravity of the situation, emphasizing that even within such an iconic park, ordinary citizens were called upon to perform extraordinary tasks.
