| Project 'Bana Singh Stadium' in doldrums, as Govt fails to release funds | | | early times report
JAMMU, Apr 11: Despite the tall claims of the Government to develop the sports infrastructure in the rural areas of the Jammu province, the Bana Singh Memorial Stadium in R S Pura, is perfect example of the official apathy. The stadium dedicated to the lone Param Vir Chakra awardee of the state, Hony Captain Bana Singh, was being developed under the authority of road and Building Department, for which the funds were provided by the Youth sports services department.
Executive engineer R&B, disclosed that the total estimated cost of the stadium is around Rs. 136 lakhs and the amount issued in first phase which was Rs 40 lakhs for the development has been utilized in constructing the drainage system, filling of the ground and two slaves of the pavilion are also been constructed with the given amount, and they are waiting for the further funds which will be provided by the Youth Sports services.
"Playground marked for an ensuing stadium is being used shamelessly as urinal and parking place for the visitors of the Government Degree College nearby the Stadium, regretted an Ex-serviceman, Makhan S. Choud-hary, from R.S. Pura.
For any outsider visiting to the stadium dedicated to the gallant hero of the state, its difficult to find any mention of the brave soldiers' heroism. A platform has been raised inside the ground but it is not worth anything as it is in shambles, he lamented.
Pertinent to mention here that the state government had promised setting up of Bana Singh Stadium more than 20 years ago but it yet has to become a realty as dream come to true.
The present government has initiated for developmental work in the stadium for the young sporting talent but it is not sure that how long it will take them to complete the work. |
