Sri Vijaya Puram, November 10: The lack of accessible spaces for sports and outdoor recreation remains an important concern for local communities, particularly young people. A new open court equipped with floodlights has been inaugurated at Lall Bijan in Dairy Farm, following its construction with an investment of ₹15 lakh from the Member of Parliament Local Area Development (MPLAD) Fund.
Bishnu Pada Ray, Member of Parliament, inaugurated the facility, which is intended to provide residents with a dedicated space for sporting and fitness activities.
The inauguration took place in the presence of the Chairperson and councillors of the Municipal Council, social workers and members of the public.
The facility is designed to accommodate sporting activities beyond daylight hours through its floodlight infrastructure. It is also expected to provide local youngsters and sports enthusiasts with a place to pursue physical activities and recreational interests.
The project places emphasis on creating opportunities for young people to engage in sports and make productive use of their leisure time. Its stated objectives include promoting physical fitness, encouraging participation in sporting activities and providing an accessible setting for recreation.
For residents of Lall Bijan and the surrounding Dairy Farm area, the court adds a designated space for outdoor activities. The inclusion of floodlights also allows the facility to serve users after daylight hours, extending the period during which the court can be used.
The ₹15 lakh project was funded through the MP’s MPLAD allocation, bringing a publicly funded sports facility to the locality.
The inauguration marks the opening of the facility for its intended use as a space for sports, fitness and recreation.
