New sports academy launched in city amid poor infrastructure
1 2 Jaipur: As Jaipur Municipal Corporation–Greater rolls out fresh initiatives to boost sports infrastructure, concerns are mounting over the maintenance of recently launched projects. A case in point is the Triveni Pulia sports complex, which was shut down within a month of its inauguration due to poor upkeep—despite an investment of Rs 12.5 lakh. On Friday, the foundation stone was laid for a new sports academy near Ravindra Manch in Ward No. 150. The event was attended by Jaipur MP Manju Sharma and Malviya Nagar MLA Kalicharan Saraf. Developed under the 'Swasth Jaipur' initiative, the academy will offer facilities for five sports, including two badminton and two tennis courts, a basketball court, three cricket practice pitches, and two volleyball courts. Ahead of the ceremony, mayor Somya Gurjar chaired a review meeting on development works across wards. Projects worth Rs 50 lakh each were assessed, along with discussions on upcoming initiatives like a new sports academy in Ramniwas Bagh and a double-basement parking facility at the municipal headquarters. However, the early closure of the Triveni Pulia facility has raised questions about construction quality and project monitoring. Inaugurated on 26 April by Gurjar and Saraf, the complex developed issues within days, with the badminton court's surface starting to peel. A notice now stated the facility is shut for two days for repairs by the contractor. The incident underscores the gap between announcements and execution. As new blueprints continue to be announced, the quick deterioration of recent infrastructure highlights the urgent need for accountability and quality control in civic development projects.
