Port Blair, Jan 10: It has come to the notice of the department that some section of public and media are spreading misinformation that entry to events organized by the department for ITF-2013 particularly at Netaji Stadium are restricted through entry pass.
In this connection, it is reiterated that the department has already announced that entry to all venues of ITF-2013 are free and open for all public and tourists. No invitation card or entry pass are required at Netaji Stadium or for that matter in any other venues of ITF to watch any of the programmes.
To facilitate public too comfortably sit and watch the programme, more than 1000 chairs are available which could be occupied by any one on first come first served basis at Netaji Stadium. Further the direction of the stage at Netaji Stadium has been changed to facilitate viewing of events from various places including side galleries and main stadium. The entire stadium can accommodate thousands of people, therefore, general public is requested not to get misguided by any such report.
