MUZAFFARGARH - Kot Addu stadium being upgraded with estimated cost of Rs36 million was yet to be provided with necessary facilities of walking track, drinking water and lightening.
Locals including Jamshed Bukhari, Rahat Qureshi, Zafar Gurmani, Noor Alam Chaudhary among many others belonging to the vicinity told media that the stadium was the lone ground-turned recreational park here where people come day and night along with children and women for walk, exercise and sports. They told that even after upgraded with hefty amount, the stadium was still deprived of essential facilities of life.
There are no toilets due to which patients, particularly diabetic and old-aged citizens who were recommended daily walk by their physicians face problems for taking exercise on daily basis. They said it is good sign that gym machinery was installed in the ground, but it is working under open sky which doesn’t serve its purpose for which it was placed.
Natives demanded the Chief Minister Punjab to provide missing facilities in the stadium in order to attract visitors to adopt healthy lifestyle amid their busy schedule of working.
