An apology for a handball arena
Chandigarh, October 10 The condition of the arena is such that the players had a tough time performing in the recently held handball championship for boys and girls. Nothing has changed in the past one year. The players have to cover a distance of 100 metres to get to their rooms. The players do not even get potable water. In the absence of a changing room, women players face a harrowing time. "The authorities think that we do not need a restroom. The construction work leaves the ground slushy. As organisers of the inter-school games are short of manpower, they fail to provide water to the players after the match. Left with no other option, the players have to make alternative arrangements. Match officials, too, face a lot of problems," said a coach of a private school. A woman player said, "A water cooler should be installed near the arena. The players have to go to the AstroTurf to fill water bottles," she said. The situation worsens during rainy season. It becomes difficult for the players to walk on the stretch leading to the handball courts as water gets accumulated on it. Wild growth aggravates the problem. "The work has begun. The authorities are aware of the problem and the stretch will be repaired at the earliest," said a supervisor of the engineering department. The engineering wing of UT Administration has undertaken the construction work. |
