Panjab University football grounds in bad shape
Chandigarh, July 3 Panjab University (PU) has one of the best infrastructures for sports in the region. But an RTI application has revealed the apathy shown by the authorities in maintaining the grounds. Under the SAI (Sports Authority of India) extension centre scheme, the sports department has been receiving an annual grant of Rs 1 lakh for past two years for uplifting
the infrastructure of sports and maintaining the arenas.
As per the information accessed through RTI, the department claims that the money has been used to purchase sporting equipments and for maintaining a football ground in one of the two soccer arenas present on the PU campus. However, in reality both the grounds are in bad condition (see pictures). Parts of both the grounds are covered with congress grass and have uneven and bald patches. The goal nets are also in bad condition. As per official record, the department has spent money on plugging the grounds, removing unwanted grass and other waste things, levelling of the ground, putting passim sand/mud on the ground, and fixing of Calcutta Grass No 1. But no such development is seen on the grounds. “We have two football grounds out of which only one is upgraded. You (the reporter) might have considered the other ground .The second ground will be upgraded after clearance from the executive committee as it needs to be looked after. Proper sand will be poured to level the ground. As per my knowledge, there is no congress grass on the field and the nets are fit to play. The grounds are being taken care of well,” said Gurmeet Singh, Director of Sports (additional charge). When asked about the torn nets and bald patches on the ground that he claims is being maintained, he said, “Nothing of that sort is there, everything is fine. We had upgraded a ground, and now will concentrate on others.” A player requesting anonymity revealed: “The work to uplift the ground was started last year and a political party on the campus also interfered in the matter. But till now the grounds are in the same condition. Although gardeners have started watering the fields on regular intervals, there is a need for proper maintenance.” Another footballer added, “There is a lot of difference between merely polishing goal-post poles and upgrading a ground. It takes at least a year to re-carpet the grass and level the ground. And during that time players are not allowed to enter the ground. The officials should concentrate on this fact also.” |
