Equipment like hurdles have been broken and have been piled in a corner. The stadium is littered with broken liquor bottles, plastic waste, discarded food items, liquids, and other garbage. Some reports mentioned that many equipment that now lay broken or badly damaged have been bought with athletes’ own money. Authorities are now busy cleaning the stadium and preparing the stadium for the upcoming Indian Super League game.
