A LONG WAIT: Nehru Stadium in the heart of Hubballi has been out of bounds for sports enthusists for more than a year now
HUBBALLI: Work to develop the Nehru Stadium here is moving at a snail’s pace. The redevelopment of the stadium, the only public sports ground for the people in the heart of Hubballi city, is hampered for more than a year.
In the month of June 2020, the redevelopment of Nehru Stadium was taken up by a company, but not even 20% of the work has been completed since then. As per the targets set by the Hubballi-Dharwad Smart City Limited (HDSCL), it expected more than 60% to 80% of the work to be completed by December 2021, but the work is not on track to achieve this, because of the lockdown and other issues. The construction company has failed to expedite the work, and officials are not sure if the work will get over within the stipulated 18 months.
