Must read

In the Khanapur area of Nirmal district, the Greenfield Stadium which came up on the outskirts of the town with all the necessary amenities for the benefit of athletes, youth, morning walkers, and yoga practitioners, has fallen into disuse.
Despite having all the facilities, it has turned almost useless. The previous government spent crores of rupees to build the Greenfield Stadium.
Due to the lack of supervision by the authorities, the Greenfield Stadium premises are teeming with wild plants and weeds. Residents believe that with minor repairs, the Greenfield Stadium can be brought back into use.
Despite spending crores on its construction, the stadium has been neglected due to the lack of supervision. Visitors to the stadium are greeted with shards of broken windows. The main gate to the stadium has remained broken for long. At night, the Greenfield Stadium has become a hangout for drunkards. There is none to guard the stadium.
Athletes preparing for events like running and jumping, or candidates aiming for positions like army soldiers and police constables find the stadium not suitable for them to do physical exercises. Many youths believe that if the rocks in the ground are removed and the uneven areas are levelled, the ground can be brought back into use.
Due to the unusable condition of the field, youths preparing for jobs like army soldiers, police constables, and other government positions are now forced to practise on the streets. They are expressing frustration over the situation.
They are requesting the authorities to immediately take the necessary steps to restore the Greenfield Stadium to its pristine glory.
