CM demand for Assam Riffles ground

Saraju Chakraborty

Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar demanded handing over the Assam Riffles ground in Agartala to the state government so that a sports stadium could be built there.

“We will build up a modern stadium here for our sports persons. If a stadium is built many tournaments can be held here,” Sarkar said in various occasions recently.

Earlier, so many competitions- national and state level were held in this ground. Former star sprinter like P. T. Usha, & Saini Abharam also attended national athletics meet here. Local Football and Cricket matches also took place regularly in this ground.

CM said, “We want to use only ground area. We have already placed our demand to Center. But it is quite surprising that nothing has been done by Central Government till today”.

Tripura Sports Council(TSC) also organized a rally and placed a demand letter to the Central Government through Assam Riffles officials recently for transfer of the ground. After that an enquiry was conducted by a Joint Secretary of the Union Home Ministry. However, there was no follow-up after that.

Disappointed by the Central Government’s inaction, chief Minister renewed his appeal to all sports loving people and sports organizations to raise their voice again so that Delhi can hear.
