University Stadium in Mumbai

Abhishek’s Sports Day was at University Stadium at Marine Lines. It brought back memories from my own Sports Days. Never the athletic kind, I was among those for whom the joy had to lie in participation.

The state of University Stadium is quite pathetic. The tracks and ground looked in good condition but the state of the stands was something else.  Sitting in the stands was like sitting next to a garbage dump and a urinal. I don’t remember it that way – but that was three decades ago. I am amazed that such a good resource can be neglected to such an extent.

Who is responsible for the maintenance of such public facilities?
