Infrastructural roadmap to the multisports hub
The multisports hub is situated in Chitrakoot Nagar of Udaipur, Rajasthan. The spectator capacity of the facility is a stellar 15000 seats. The project as well as the redevelopment is being looked after by the Udaipur Improvement Trust along with the Municipal corporation of Udaipur.
The facility hosts a comprehensive list of 12 different disciplines, including basketball, volleyball, tennis, kho-kho, kabaddi, handball, archery, rifle shooting, judo with karate, boxing, swimming, and squash. This is the largest sports hub of Udaipur and has swimming pools complemented with tennis courts.The complex has faced multiple controversies throughout time. A public interest litigation was filed against the arena for conducting private activities in the government-allocated land for the area. Suspicions were raised about a private school being run on the campus.
Controversies anchored around safety resolution
Additionally, the complex also faced health hazards, for a car fell into a deep pit in the facility, causing death, which sent an uproar among the locals against the Udaipur Development Authority for beautifying the location only on the arrival of major dignitaries and neglecting basic health requirements.
