The protest was organised under the leadership of Bhanu Partap Singh, president Jammu West Young Panthers and Arun Mehra general secretary along with their team in the presence of Partap Singh Jamwal, State vice president Young Panthers.
Concerned over the dilapidated condition of the land allotted by the JDA for the construction of play ground at Bhagwati Nagar, Jammu, angry YP activists raised slogans against the previous coalition (BJP-PDP) Government and also against the JDA and demanded immediate construction of the said play ground to promote sports culture in Jammu region.
Addressing the gathering, Pratap Singh regretted that the land allotted for the indoor stadium/play ground at Bhagwati Nagar has turned into a filthy place where the garbage of the adjacent areas is being dumped to cause nuisance to the public health and hygiene. He said that the land was earmarked in 2014 for the said stadium but the erstwhile Government remained lackadaisical towards encouraging recreational avenues for the local youth.
