Haridwar, May 3 -- The Shashidhar Bhatt Government Sports Stadium in Kotdwar is being redeveloped into a state-of-the-art sports hub, with plans to introduce coaching facilities for young athletes, officials in Pauri Garhwal said. District magistrate Swati S Bhadauriya, who recently inspected the stadium, said renovation and expansion work is underway to upgrade infrastructure and address existing gaps. "Various shortcomings and scope for developing it into a sporting centre of excellence were identified during the inspection. The gymnasium was found to be ill-equipped and will now be modernised to meet the needs of fitness-oriented sportspersons. Renovation of the basketball and badminton courts, along with the hockey ground, is also being undertaken to bring them up to standards required for hosting state and national-level tournaments," the DM said....
