Sports Department Director Mahendra Kumar: The Bihar government transferred the registry of the land for Moin-ul-Haq Stadium to the Bihar Cricket Association (BCA) on a long-term 30-year lease. This is a major step taken by the Bihar government and the Bihar Cricket Association (BCA) to host international cricket matches in Patna and to provide state cricketers with a state-of-the-art international cricket stadium.
Additionally, the government waived off the land registry fee of approximately Rs 37 crore, as previously announced.
The registry documents were signed on behalf of the Bihar government by Sports Department Director Mahendra Kumar, and on behalf of BCA by its president Rakesh Tiwari. Present during the occasion were Sports Department Deputy Director Sanjay Kumar, Patna District Sports Officer Om Prakash, BCA Secretary Jiaul Afrin, GM Admin Neeraj Rathore and several other dignitaries.
