The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium: The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, a hallowed venue for sports in India, recently found itself at the center of controversy following the two-day ‘Dil-luminati’ concert by Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh as track and field athlete Beant Singh shared his disappointment on social media, posting images of the venue’s disarray
Held over the weekend, the concert drew nearly 35,000 fans each night but left the stadium, typically reserved for sports, in a state of disarray.
In the video posted by Singh, the stadium's track and field area were littered with garbage, alcohol containers, and damaged athletic equipment. “This is where athletes train, but here people had alcohol and partied,” Benat Singh shared on Instagram.
