Yet another shocking incident another private sector company spoiled the synthetic track of the Kalinga Stadium here on Saturday, While preparing the ground for the marathon to be held on January 10.
The organiser put iron ladder on the 400 meter synthetic track. This damaged the only synthetic track available in the State.
The international athletes Srabani Nanda, Duttee Chand, Amiya Mallick and many more use to practice in this track, its matter of great unfortunate.
Nothing wrong if Sports and Youth Services Department is generating revenue by giving the stadium infrastructure on rent basis. But the authority and stadium officials should guide the privet body what to do and don’t, said a National repute athlete.
This is not first time the track damaged by private bodies. It is high time the Department most take proper steps to protect the track for the professional athletes.
