Amit Kholia, a resident of Haldwani, has filed a public interest litigation saying that the Indira Gandhi International Sports Stadium in Haldwani has been built on 15.20 hectares of forest land at a cost of Rs 200 crore, whose work has not been completed yet. The construction agencies are being changed time and again by the government to make it.
Now the government has given contract to Uttarakhand drinking water construction to complete this work. While 38th National Games were to be held in this stadium, but the contract has been given for the construction of complete drinking water. While the 38th National Games were to be held in this stadium, but due to non-completion of work, the central government is looking for another place. Right now there are many shortcomings in the stadium which need to be removed only then state or international level games can be organized here.
The petitioner also states that its construction work has not been completed yet. While the date of completion of its construction has passed. The players of the state have to go to other states for coaching. The 38th Khel Mahakumbh has also gone out of the hands of the state and public money is being misused. In the public interest litigation, he has prayed to the court that its construction work should be done within the stipulated time limit.
