JAMMU, Dec 6: Demanding the construction of an indoor stadium at Bhagwati Nagar, Young Panthers (YP) here today under the leadership of Tarseem Singh, District YP President staged a protest demonstration.
The protesters said that land allotted for the indoor stadium at Bhagwati Nagar has become a filthy place where garbage of adjacent areas is dumped.
Leader of the protest said that land for the indoor stadium was earmarked in the year 2014 and Jammu Development Authority has also allotted land for the purpose but there was a lackadaisical attitude of the Government towards this.
“Sports culture was promoted in the valley and Jammu region was despicably kept neglected and deprived of infrastructural facilities meant for encouraging sports,” leader of the protest said.
He also said that besides facing obnoxious bias in employment, the young fraternity of Jammu is being trapped in drug addiction by the rampant mafia operating in the entire Jammu province.
“Encouraging youth to participate in sports and other recreational activities could have diverted the youth towards a constructive and meaningful path,” he maintained.
Arjun Suri, Arun Mehra, Parshant Banot, Akash Bhatia, Hony Gupta, Rahul Kumar, Ajay Singh, Sunil Kumar, Sheru Kumar, Sunny Singh, Vishal Kumar, Bhanu Partap, Raghav Talwar, Partap Singh and others were also present in the protest.
