The
once
cultural
and
sports
hub
in
the
city,
Dr
Ambedkar
Stadium,
that
is
now
a
haven
for
those
indulging
in
anti-social
activities,
may
soon
be
developed
into
a
āmini-sports
cityā
The
Greater
Cochin
Development
Authority
(GCDA)
that
owns
the
stadium
took
this
decision
based
on
their
āconvictionā
that
anti-social
activities
in
the
stadium
can
be
stopped
only
by
making
it
a
place
for
social
activities.
Authorities
said
that
availing
the
stadium,
even
at
night
too,
for
sport
activities
at
affordable
rates
will
ensure
active
utilization
of
the
property
.
Facilities
for
various
sports
activities
like
badminton,
basketball,
etc
will
be
developed
at
the
stadium
and
the
existing
football
turf
will
be
given
a
facelift.
Besides,
strong
fencing
of
the
property
to
prevent
trespassing,
setting
up
a
toilet
complex,
providing
adequate
lighting
and
ensuring
electricity
and
water
supply
too
is
part
of
the
plan.
