Ranchi’s sports venues are set for a major cleanup following firm instructions from Deputy Commissioner Manjunath Bhajantri. At a key meeting focused on athletic development, he mandated the instant clearance of unlawful occupations at Morabadi’s Indoor Badminton Stadium and vowed tough action against indiscipline anywhere in the district.
Regular monitoring of stadium premises is now compulsory, with quick responses promised to reports of drugs, smoking, or behavioral lapses. Bhajantri painted a vivid picture: stadiums as hallowed grounds for practice and events, immune to external vices. Violations, he warned, threaten players’ progress and the essence of fair play.
The administration is doubling down on creating athlete-friendly zones—clean, safe, and distraction-free. This benefits not just elite competitors but grassroots enthusiasts eyeing state and national glory. Meeting participants, including department leads, pledged full compliance with the new protocols.
Such steps resonate deeply in a region hungry for sports success stories. Encroachments have long hampered training schedules, frustrating coaches and parents alike. Bhajantri’s blueprint promises accountability, potentially unlocking untapped potential in Ranchi’s youth.
As implementation kicks off, expect heightened patrols and community drives. The DC’s message is unequivocal: protect these assets to empower tomorrow’s stars. This could mark a turning point, aligning local facilities with professional standards and inspiring a disciplined sports movement across Jharkhand.
