Govt. issues administrative sanction for work; monitoring committee to be formed
A monitoring committee consisting of sportspersons, former students, and elected members will be formed to execute the relaying of the synthetic track at Maharaja’s College ground here. The move comes two days after the government issued administrative sanction for the ₹6.9-crore renovation work. The Directorate of Collegiate Education had included the project among its other proposals in the annual plan for 2021-22. The synthetic track was opened in 2007 at a project cost of around ₹5 crore. Its condition turned worse due to lack of maintenance. The track had developed cracks and it was not able to host sporting events for more than a year. With the project getting administrative sanction, the authorities are hopeful of giving a facelift to the stadium.More Related News
