Headline: Neglected Sports Stadium in Kolhanta Patwari, Darbhanga
Paragraph 1: The Plus Two Rajkiya Uchch Vidyalaya Kolhanta Patwari’s sports stadium, located approximately 15 kilometers away from the district headquarters in Hanuman Nagar, is currently in a state of neglect, waiting for athletes. Spread over approximately 14 acres, this sports stadium is witnessing the path of athletes. Instead of players, cows, buffaloes, and goats can be seen here. The stadium was supposed to be built at a cost of Rs 35.35 lakh to promote sports and players. However, even after the allocation of funds, the construction of the stadium could not be completed, and it remains incomplete to this day.
Paragraph 2: Hemant Kumar, the acting principal of Plus Two Rajkiya Uchch Vidyalaya Kolhanta Patwari, explains that the cost of the construction materials exceeded the budget allocated for the stadium. Despite the increase in the budget, no initiative was taken. Later, the allocated funds were returned by the officials. It was then said that a new estimate would be prepared and the stadium would be constructed. However, local players have not benefited from the stadium even after years. Voices were raised from the assembly to the council regarding this stadium, but no progress has been made.
Paragraph 3: Hemant Kumar, the acting principal, states that there is a large playground near the school premises, spread over approximately 14 acres. In March 2022, an allocation of Rs 35.35 lakh was received from the department for the construction of a district-level stadium, including a installment of Rs 8 lakh issued by the DM of Darbhanga. However, due to the increase in the cost of materials, this amount was returned. In December 2022, MLA Suresh Kumar raised a question, to which it was replied that the allocation amount was returned due to the increased cost of materials. The sports department will provide the revised allocation amount to the Ministry, and only then will the funds be allocated. Despite having a large playground in the district, players have to face difficulties.
दरभंगा जिले के प्लस टू राजकीय उच्च विद्यालय कोल्हनटा पटोरी का खेल मैदान खिलाड़ियों के लिए अभंग्यपूर्ण हालत में है। इस मैदान का निर्माण करने के लिए 35.35 लाख की लागत आवंटित की गई थी, लेकिन राशि के अधिक होने की वजह से निर्माण अब तक नहीं हुआ है। स्थानीय खिलाड़ियों को अभी तक मैदान का लाभ नहीं मिला है। स्थानीय अधिकारियों की बातों के बावजूद भी इस मुद्दे पर कोई पहल नहीं हुई है। ऐसे में खिलाड़ियों को बड़ी परेशानी का सामना करना पड़ रहा है।
