Hut Bay, Sept 2: Owing to complete lack of attention, the prominent Mini Stadium at RK Pur in Little Andaman is gradually losing its identity among sports lovers of the region. Vidya Sagar Mini Stadium, the centre of sports activities in Little Andaman, was constructed to develop sports in the territory. But for official apathy, the Mini Stadium now wears a deserted look and has become home to the wild.
The Stadium has not been utilised for sports activities for a long time and wild bushes in the ground bear testimony to the official indifference exhibited towards the key sports complex of Little Andaman. Even the building of the stadium has been left to ruins, according to reports. “The Mini Stadium at RK Pur was the centre of attraction of Little Andaman and hundreds of sports lovers used to gather at the ground for various sports activities almost every day a week. But for lack of attention by the authorities, the stadium has been suffering from maintenance for long. Currently it remains deserted throughout the year,” said some local residents speaking to Andaman Sheekha.
Due to lack of maintenance, the Mini Stadium at RK Pur is in poor shape and the infrastructure is falling to pieces, said Mr Sudhir Biswas, former Adhyaksh of Zilla Parishad. “The Administration should take immediate steps to renovate and ensure proper maintenance of the stadium. Adequate staff should also be engaged for the proper upkeep of the Mini Stadium at RK Pur.”
