‘Repair stadiums which are in a bad shape’
Jana Sena Party (JSP) State official spokesman Sundarapu Vijay Kumar has demanded immediate stoppage of collection of sports fee from students of government schools and at the same time not deprive them of access to physical education training.
Addressing a media conference here on Wednesday, Mr. Vijay Kumar alleged that the State government was collecting ₹30 to ₹50 a month as sports fee from students. The sports coaches were being asked to conduct tournaments and collect money from students and deposit it into the ‘pay and play’ account. He said that all parties had opposed the G.O. on ‘Pay and Play’, when it was issued some years ago. Though the idea of the G.O. was to develop sports infrastructure, collection of money from students for it was also opposed, he said.
