SAI's Claims On The State Of JLN Stadium After Diljit Dosanjh's Concert Contradicts Ground Reality
The Sports Authority: The Sports Authority of India (SAI) released a statement on Monday claiming the readiness of the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, where two shows of Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh's ‘Dil-Luminati’ music concert took place after social media videos showed the venue in disarray with piles of trash littered all around.
IANS visited the site on Tuesday, two days after the event took place, only to discover the ground was still in need of a thorough cleaning as the aftermath of the concert was still on full display. The dismantling of the makeshift structure, close to the athletic track, used for the concert was still going on around 3 pm. The track around the ground, including the sand pit for the long jump, was littered and in need of dire work ahead of Punjab FC's ISL clash against Chennaiyin FC on Thursday.
The state in which IANS found the stadium was in total contradiction to claims made by SAI, which manages all stadiums owned by the Central Government, on Monday night after the news of the poor condition of the stadium blew up on social media.
