Tennis court in a state of neglect
Chandigarh, June 24 The clay court that was inaugurated on May 28 by the Adviser to the UT Administrator along with Education-cum-Finance Secretary, Director Public Instructions (DPI) and many other top officials, is in a poor condition. Grass has started growing near the nets of the court. Principal of the school said the matter has been put into the notice of the officials of the engineering department and it will be overcome once the rains are over. “We are well aware of the situation and to avoid major losses, we have appointed sweepers for regular cleanliness of the court. The maintenance department suggested that the work should be done after the rains and once the rains are over, we will improve the condition of the courts,” said Sanjay Walia. When asked about the absence of players, he mentioned, “We are waiting for schools to open after summer vacation on July 1. Once the school is started, we will adjust special periods to train children. Only then, the courts can be used in proper manner,” said the principal. Notably, when contacted Gajendra Singh, director coaching and development CLTA (Chandigarh Lawn Tennis Association), he added, “If one locks his house for over a month, it’s obvious what would happen there. The programme will start from July 1 and the courts will be taken care from then. It was decided well in time that the training programmes will start from July 1, so we cannot approach the courts before the decided period,” said Gajendra Singh. The CLTA has been taken into consideration to look after the coaching aspect. Interestingly, during the inauguration of the courts the education-cum-sports secretary mentioned that these lawn courts would also be available for the gully players. But no approach has been made to open the courts for gully players during the ongoing summer vacation. On the other end, some officials of the UT Engineering Department seeking anonymity stated, “The project in various schools were performed after an intense pressure form authorities. If the programme was already scheduled to start form July 1, we could have made these courts for sportsperson given more time to come up with more sportsperson friendly,” said the official. |
