We are constantly working to increase facilities for them. In Raigarh, along with a running track of practice and competition level for runners, a separate track is also being built for the people who come for daily walks. The swimming pool of the stadium had become very old, in view of this, now a swimming pool of international standards is being built here. Skating rink is also being prepared. Finance Minister O.P. Choudhary said that we are constantly working to advance public facilities.
All the projects that have been started here are now taking a concrete shape. Which will soon be ready for the people. Finance Minister Mr. Chaudhary said that sports is not only a medium for players to show their talent in competitive platforms, but is also a solid foundation for a healthy and active lifestyle. The way our lifestyle has changed today is not at all good for health. If we look at the daily routine of our previous generations, hard work and effort played a big role in it. Their diet was good and they lived a healthy life for a long time. But due to today’s food and lifestyle, the youth are falling prey to serious diseases at an early age. The main reason for this is lack of physical activities and careless attitude towards health. We should include sports as a mandatory part of life. It should not be limited to the youth only, but staying connected with sports even at an older age ensures good health along with entertainment.
Addressing the program, Mayor Jeevardhan Chauhan said that the work of increasing the facilities for players is going on continuously with the initiative of Finance Minister O.P. Chaudhary. This will provide a platform to the sports talents here to improve their preparation. Municipal Corporation Commissioner Brijesh Singh Kshatriya gave technical information about the tracks and facilities being prepared in the stadium. On this occasion, the Sports and Yoga Association expressed gratitude for the upgradation work going to be done in the stadium. On this occasion, Chairman Degree Lal Sahu, Muktinath Babua, Sarita Keshav Jaiswal, Sheikh Salim Niyaria, Mukesh Jain, Dibesh Solanki, Collector Mayank Chaturvedi, Assistant Collector Akshay Dosi, SDM Mahesh Sharma along with the city’s sports lovers and players, dignitaries and officers and employees were present.
