AstroTurf gets wet after 7 days
Chandigarh, July 10 The AstroTurf, which is already in a pitiable condition as its expiry date has lapsed, went dry following some technical problem in a motor last week. The problem was resolved this morning. Since last Thursday (July 3), hockey players were unable to play on the AstroTurf and were asked to go through physical conditioning for a certain period. Also, the trials scheduled to shortlist the hockey team of a local college were called off as the artificial field had become hard due to dryness. The AstroTurf expired during the year 2008-09 and the UT Sports Department was maintaining it purely by keeping it wet. The department is still struggling to get bidders for laying the new field. Ever since the AstroTurf expired, the work to float new tenders and finalising specifications is under process. The new field was expected to be laid by the end of 2011 but was delayed due to a review of the demand notice inviting tender (DNIT) specifications. Till date, the project is jumping deadlines. Despite having a planned budget for past five years, the Sports Department failed to lay a new artificial field. Interestingly, the Education Department, the Sports Department and the Chandigarh Hockey Association host tournaments on the same field putting players to risk of getting hurt. Fallout
