Row erupts over vehicles on Kalinga stadium track

BHUBANESWAR: A war of words ensued between Sports minister Suryabanshi Suraj and former Sports minister Tusharkanti Behera after a video of two vehicles moving on the athletics track of the Kalinga Stadium in the city emerged on Sunday.

The controversy began after Behera expressed concern over the incident, calling it ‘outrageously disappointing and shameful’. Taking to X, he posted, “Athletic track in Kalinga Stadium: During @Naveen_Odisha’s (Naveen Patnaik) Era, it was a running track of international athletes. Now, it is running track of vehicles belonging to the ruling party (BJP) leaders.”

Behera accused the BJP government of misusing public assets. “Crores of rupees have been spent to prepare the tracks and the world-class stadium. It should not be misused,” he said.

The incident also drew criticism from sports enthusiasts with many questioning the prioritisation of administrative convenience over the sanctity of sports infrastructure. The Kalinga Stadium has been hosting numerous international events in the recent years.
