Ciorogârla riverbank becomes weekend retreat for South Asian workers

South Asian workers, primarily from Nepal and Bangladesh, have turned the banks of the Ciorogârla river near Bragadiru into a regular weekend destination for relaxation and community building.

Groups of workers use the area to escape the heat and urban stress, bringing food, tents, and volleyball equipment to create a makeshift holiday atmosphere. Local residents have noted the civil behavior of the groups, observing that they maintain cleanliness in the area after their gatherings. For these workers, the riverbank serves as a vital social refuge and a way to find community while living and working in Romania.
