Great news hope work starts soon..
I have very sweet memories of this ground. I played cricket with my friends during my schooling days… I happened to be the only one who ever hit sixes. Great to know that this ground is getting a face-lift.
health of half the belgaum will improve if we make provision for bike lane and impose heavy fine using vehicle (2W-, 3W- and 4Wheelers) Then sportsperson will perform better with good environment. Please block the use anyone bringing powered vehicles to the ground for the matter any ground.
Ground only for playing cricket, football, etc not for letting exhibitions political rallies.
Good to see some move towards development of the ground. Hope lots of sports activity take place on the same ground.
