Social activist and politician Egenstar Kurkalang has petitioned Sports and Youth Affairs Minister Banteidor Lyngdoh to reconsider the government’s apparent decision to relocate the planned indoor stadium at Laitdiengwah, Smit to another place.
In a letter to the minister, Kurkalang said that village elders, youth and other members of the public had informed him that the project has come to a standstill “without any valid reason.”
He stated that the facility, when complete, would be a great benefit to the welfare, careers and interest of the local youth and termed the idea of moving the construction elsewhere as “really unfortunate”.
