Station Ghanpur’s incomplete mini stadium turns den for miscreants

JANGAON: The construction of a mini-indoor stadium in Station Ghanpur remains stalled reportedly due to a lack of coordination among authorities and delayed fund release.

Initiated by the previous BRS government to foster local sporting talent, the construction of mini-stadia across the state was intended to provide dedicated sports facilities. One such facility was started in the Station Ghanpur Assembly constituency on a five-acre plot at an estimated cost of Rs 2 crore.

Despite the construction being incomplete, the stadium was inaugurated last year by a BRS MLA ahead of the Assembly elections. Badminton enthusiasts from rural areas in the constituency have been eagerly awaiting the stadium’s completion so they can practice regularly.
