Dance damages field of play, Blasters protest Kaloor Stadium neglect

Kerala Blasters FC have raised serious concerns about the condition of the playing surface at the Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium in Kaloor, following damages caused by a recent third-party event. Known for hosting some of the best football matches in India, the stadium’s pitch is now in dire straits just days before the Blasters’ Indian Super League (ISL) clash against Odisha FC. The issue stems from a large-scale Bharatnatyam performance held on December 29, an event aimed at setting a Guinness World Record with over 11,000 dancers participating. While the Greater Cochin Development Authority (GCDA), which owns the stadium, insists that proper approvals were in place, the Blasters have alleged a breach of agreement. The club reportedly issued a No Objection Certificate (NOC), but it included a specific clause to protect the field of play (FoP)—a clause that was blatantly ignored. The Blasters argue that this negligence has left the pitch unfit for professional football. The club, meanwhile, has been forced to mobilize its pitch team, working around the clock to restore the field to …

Chandannagar’s famous French museum turns victim of neglect

The first crash happened in October during the Durga Puja holidays when the place was shut and it was a miraculous escape for the artefacts. | Photo Credit: Special Arrangement The famous French museum in Chandannagar, located in what’s popularly known as Dupleix Palace, appears to have become a victim of neglect with the false ceiling in two of its halls crashing in the recent weeks, a narrow escape for visitors including foreigners. The building, formally known as Institut de Chandernagor, was where Joseph Francois Dupleix lived as the governor-general when Chandannagar was a French colony; it’s an important address in the town, where French is taught and which also houses a historic library apart from the museum.

Rahul, Priyanka to lead agitation against Centre`s `neglect` of Wayanad

The Congress said on Tuesday that it will launch protests, both inside and outside Parliament, under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, against the lack of Central assistance for the landslide survivors of Wayanad. Party leader and Kalpetta MLA T Siddique described the Centre`s alleged reluctance to provide financial aid to the people in landslide-affected areas as an “inhuman” approach. He said that, besides Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, he, as the local MLA, had also submitted a memorandum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking assistance for the relief and rehabilitation of the landslide survivors during his visit soon after the tragedy. Although the prime minister had promised full support, not even one per cent of justice had been delivered by Modi or the Union government led by him in relation to that assurance, he alleged. “It is an inhuman approach towards the people who have suffered such a massive tragedy,” he said, adding that the Congress party would intensify its protests both inside and outside Parliament against this. “Leader of the Opposition Rahul …

A new video has surfaced, highlighting negligence in the maintenance and preservation of the Taj Mahal.
