Addressing the gathering, N Biren Singh said that there is still enough space for further expansion and development of the complex.

The Chief Minister said that development of the complex began with just Rs 1.40 crore.

He also mentioned the development of various sports infrastructures in different parts of the State in the past four and half years by the present Government and stressed the need for prioritizing sports disciplines which are suitable to the physique of the State natives.

The Chief Minister also mentioned the need to create suitable posts to look after and maintain the stadiums located in different parts of the State.

Stating that health infrastructure had seen a huge progress in the recent past, N Biren Singh stated that the State is fully prepared to handle the third wave of Covid.

He said that the State has enough oxygen plants, hospital beds, manpower and equipment.

The Chief Minister further said that the 200-bedded Covid hospital developed by DRDO is ready for inauguration.

Highlighting that the biggest achievement of the present Government is peace, he added that there would be development only when there is peace and harmony in the State.

Stating that the State has witnessed development under the present Government, he said that rail connectivity has already reached the State and once the rail-head reaches Imphal, the State would become the gateway of the country to ASEAN countries under the Act East Policy.

Addressing the gathering, YAS Minister Letpao Haokip announced that floodlights would be installed at the complex soon.

He added that having such a sports-loving leader makes the functioning of the Sports Department easier and more productive.
