MDT20CF expresses displeasure at authorities
Meanwhile, the MDT20CF has expressed despair at the poor condition of the Imkongmeren Sports Complex. They also said that the playing condition of the pitch has deteriorated after hundreds of vehicles entered the venue during the recently held election process.
The organizers also stated that the concerned authorities did not attend to the litter after the election process and that they spent the whole day cleaning the complex on Thursday.
The MDT20CF also regretted that not only did the authorities not take care of the damaged playground after the election process but also did not bother to clean the venue littered by the election personnel involved. They also expressed disdain at the general lack of civic sense.
Further, MDT20CF has also appealed to the authorities not to allow entry of vehicles into the playground.
