A press note from BJP, Manipur said that the project has not been able to take off since there is indecisiveness on the part of state govt.on many issues and incapability in terms of finalizing the actual location of the University.
This in turn has resulted in missing many opportunities in terms of timely creation of Sports infrastructure and promoting of good sportspersons in the state, it added.
It further blamed the state govt.for failing to come to an amicable understanding with the uncooperative villagers of the earmarked location.
"The National Sports University in Manipur is going to be of the International Standard and it would bring laurel to the State from home and abroad.
It is the duty of all of us to ensure that such opportunities are tapped timely and do not slip off our fingers.
However the people, who would be affected, along with the senior citizens, sportspersons, social workers, civil societies, intellectuals and other citizens should be consulted and be a part of the decision making process while the National Sports University is being established", the statement said.
