'Athletes are thrown out so officers can walk in the stadium with a dog', this officer was accused

Delhi Govt sports facilities to stay open for sportsmen till 10pm: Delhi Government has taken a big decision keeping in mind the interests of the players of the capital. Under this new order, all the stadiums in Delhi will remain open till 10 pm. After all, the reason for this decision will also surprise you. In fact, there are constant complaints by the athletes and their coaches at the Tyagraj Stadium, run by the Delhi government, that they are being deliberately forced to finish training by 7 pm.

Serious allegations against the principal secretary

In fact, it has been said for a long time that Sanjeev Khirwar, Principal Secretary (Revenue) of Delhi Government, makes his dog walk there after about half an hour. That's why all the players are asked to go home by 7 o'clock.

According to the report published in the Indian Express, a coach said, 'We used to train here from 8 to 8.30 in the night earlier but now we are asked to leave the stadium before 7 in the evening so that the officials can take their dog. Can walk there Because of this our training and practice routine is getting affected.

Cleanliness of IAS Khirwa

On the other hand, Khirwar, a 1994 batch IAS officer, has termed the allegation as false and baseless. Although he admitted that he occasionally takes his pet dog for a walk in the stadium, he denied that it had any effect on the athletes' practice. Khirwar also said, 'They go there only after the stadium is closed. We don't leave him (the dog) on ​​the track. We leave him to run when no one is around. If there is anything objectionable about it, I will stop it.'

What did the administrator of the stadium say?

Stadium administrator Ajit Chaudhary said that the official time for practice is 4 to 6 pm in the evening, but in view of the heat, athletes have been allowed to train till 7 pm. He said that he was not aware that any government official was using the stadium after 7 pm.

However, it can be seen in the pictures and videos related to this case that the guards stationed there are vacating the ground by whistling from 6.30 pm on three days in about 7 days. The Thyagaraj Stadium was built for the 2010 Commonwealth Games. This sports complex is a practice place for national and state level athletes as well as football players.
