Chhattisgarh Panchayat and Rural Development Minister T.S. Singh Deo on Saturday visited Srigarh and asked officials to construct a well-equipped stadium for holding indoor games.
The proposed stadium will have a capacity for 3,500 spectators and Rs 52 crore will be spent on its construction, a press release said.
Singh Deo asked Public Works Department (PWD) officers to inspect indoor stadiums in Raipur and Bilaspur and accordingly create a layout that is compatible with the land at Srigarh.
He said the multi-purpose track should be maintained properly. The stadium construction should be done while keeping in mind that a hockey stadium and hostel may be built here in the near future.
Officials said the proposed indoor stadium will have four courts for basketball, handball and volleyball. About 35 acres of land has been identified for the stadium complex.
