JAMMU, Nov 12: The Vansh Sabre Sports Foundation (VSSF) has submitted a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner, Jammu, seeking improvements in facilities, safety arrangements and sports heritage initiatives at MA Stadium, Jammu.
The memorandum was submitted by Foundation Secretary Dr. Kuldeep Kumar Gupta along with Anil Modi, Inderjeet Sharma, S. Sarwant Singh Gill and Vikas Jandial.
In the memorandum, Dr. Gupta requested that the biographies and achievements of distinguished sportspersons be displayed on the digital screens installed at the stadium. The proposed initiative aims to recognise sporting excellence, preserve the legacy of accomplished athletes and inspire young people to take up sports.
He also highlighted the need to repair non-functional lights along the footpath surrounding the stadium. He said adequate lighting was essential for the safety and convenience of athletes, pedestrians and visitors, particularly during early morning and evening hours.
The Foundation further sought an assessment of security arrangements within the Kabaddi Stadium premises to ensure the safety of athletes, visitors, sports equipment and public property. It also requested the concerned authorities to identify suitable locations for installing standardised plastic speed breakers around MA Stadium to improve road safety.
Dr. Gupta appealed to the district administration and concerned departments to inspect the site and consider the requests on priority, wherever feasible. He said the proposed measures would help create a safer, better-maintained and more encouraging environment for the sporting community and the general public.
Expressing hope for a positive response, Dr. Gupta said coordinated action by the authorities would strengthen the facilities at MA Stadium and contribute to the continued development of sports in Jammu.
