'Concerts Shouldn't Be Allowed In Stadiums': Asian Games Medallist Laments JLN's Post-show Disarray
Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium: After the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium was left in a state of disarray following a music concert, the Asian Games medallist athlete called for a ban on holding concerts or any programme in the stadiums, which are a "sacred place" for the athletes.
The stadium had hosted Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh’s 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 the track.
"First of all, concerts or any programme shouldn't be allowed in stadiums which are for players development. And JLN is one of the premier stadiums where most track and athletes train. What I have been seeing and talked from other athletes is that the tracks are totally broken and it will take time to repair," the athlete told IANS on condition of anonymity.
