Idukki package to give impetus to sports infra

Discussion held at Collectorate

More importance to infrastructure building to develop sports will be given in the Idukki package, for which official-level discussions with stakeholders have began.

Those who participated in a discussion on the Idukki package held at the collectorate on Tuesday pointed out the poor sports infrastructure though the district contributed many eminent sportspersons. Swimming pools with enough facilities should be built at school-level and trainers should be appointed.

Playgrounds should be developed and talent identified at an early age. Equipment should be supplied to them at the local body-level. There should be indoor stadiums to hold national events.
