Imphal, January 28 2021:
86 Battalion CRPF renovated a football ground at Kanglatongbi.
The renovation work of the Football ground of Youth Association was undertaken under the Civic Action Programme, said a statement issued by the office of the Commandant 86 Battalion CRPF.
The locals had been requesting the repair of the ground as it was scattered with large chunks of stone and the soil was very thin and sandy which does not suit the game of football, added the statement.
It added that this particular ground has been the venue of a football tournament organised by the 86 Battalion for the last two years.
Taking all these points into account and keeping the welfare of the local players in mind, Kalyan Singha, Commandant 86 Bn CRPF requested the higher authority which was duly considered and adequate funds for the project was released by Randeep Datta, IGP, CRPF M&N sector, added the statement.
The locals were elated as the ground is now fully developed and levelled by machine and fresh grass has also been planted and they expressed gratitude towards CRPF, added the statement.
