A zero-tolerance policy on stadium misconduct was announced today by Ranchi Deputy Commissioner Manjunath Bhajantri. During Wednesday’s comprehensive sports review session, he ordered the prompt eviction of illegal occupants from the Morabadi Indoor Badminton Stadium complex and warned of harsh penalties for any form of indiscipline.
Bhajantri directed authorities to enforce vigilant oversight across all district sports venues. Incidents involving substance abuse, tobacco use, or disruptive activities will face immediate legal repercussions. He highlighted that these facilities exist solely for athletes’ development, where order and purity form the bedrock of success.
‘Encroachments and rowdyism poison the future of our youth and erode sports culture,’ the DC declared. His vision prioritizes athlete welfare, ensuring uninterrupted access to pristine training grounds. This initiative extends beyond Morabadi, covering every stadium in Ranchi, to build a robust ecosystem for talent cultivation.
Attendees, comprising senior officials and stakeholders, received clear mandates for proactive surveillance. The move addresses persistent complaints from the sporting fraternity about facility degradation. By prioritizing discipline, the district hopes to elevate local performers to national podiums.
Community leaders praised the directive as a timely intervention. With Jharkhand’s sporting heritage at stake, Bhajantri’s resolve could transform Ranchi’s sports landscape. Regular audits and public reporting channels are expected to follow, empowering citizens to uphold standards. Ultimately, this policy reinforces that sports arenas are sanctuaries for ambition, not chaos.
