The stadium had hosted Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh\u2019s Dil-luminati concert and that had left trash all around with alcohol bottles on the track and the long-jump pit, rotting food strewn around on track and vehicles driving on the track.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
But on Monday, SAI claimed that the turf had been restored to match playing condition before the Diwali game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"In the light of media reports about the organisation of Diljit Dosanjh\u2019s Dil-luminati concert, Sports Authority of India (SAI) would like to clarify the following:<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"1. The organisers of Diljit Dosanjh\u2019s concert had booked the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium till October 28, 2024 (Monday) for cleaning at full rental charges. SAI\u2019s contract with the organisers clearly states that they will return the concert venue (JLN Stadium) to SAI in the same way that it was handed over to them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"2. The only athletes who train or practice at the JLN Stadium are allowed under the \u2018Come and Play\u2019 Scheme, which is mostly for children who are just starting. With this being the off-season, no Elite, junior, or sub-junior athletes are currently training at the JLN Stadium.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"3. There are no camps underway right now. No competing athletes of the junior or senior train in JLN.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"4. Around 70,000 people attended the concert over two days and the cleaning is already complete,\" SAI claimed in its statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"3. There are no camps underway right now. No competing athletes of the junior or senior train in JLN.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
