Divisional Commissioner G Sreekanth has directed officials to upgrade Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar’s Divisional Sports Complex into a national and international-level training centre. At a committee meeting, he called for facilities for lawn tennis, wrestling, badminton, boxing, basketball and football, along with athlete accommodation, equipment, repairs and improved restrooms.
A 400-metre synthetic track is scheduled to be inaugurated by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Marathwada Liberation Day. Sreekanth ordered officials to finish the work on time and organise district-level competitions. He also sought action on stray dogs, improved parking with fixed charges, and standard operating procedures for the track and football field. A funding proposal will be sent to the District Planning Committee.
The easy narrative is that a new track alone will produce elite athletes. It will not. The complex also needs safe access, working facilities, trained staff, equipment and regular competitions. The stray-dog problem and unfinished repairs show that basic management matters as much as grand plans. The useful test will be whether the promised facilities are ready, funded and usable when the track opens, not simply whether the inauguration takes place.
