Working on the synthetic lane at the Kantavera Stadium began in September 2020, but there were no signs of finished even at the end of this year
It took 23 years for the Department of Youth and Sports Empowerment (Dyes) to make a decision to install a new synthetic line at the Kanegerava Stadium.
The Dyse began work to install a new synthetic track on September 2020 and is expected to be completed in three months, but there are no signs of completing work even at the end of this year.
“There is a delay in importing material for tracks from Germany.
After importing material, the work is delayed because of locking and now, the Monsun has arrived.
We have to wait until the monsoon recedes, ” said Director Joint Dyse MS Ramesh.

Synthetic track – now deleted – first installed at the Kaneeraava Stadium in 1997 and the offering authority of content only in ad hoc settings instead of fixing it permanently every time athletes will complain about poor track conditions.
In 2019, the PICTAN authority made an effort to fill the hole on the track by ratifying people who did not have expertise.
The lack of the right synthetic track made the authorities shift the 59th, 2019 National Athletics Open Championship to Ranchi from the Kanegerava Stadium in Bengaluru.
Recently, the 60th Senior Inter-State Athletic Championship shifted to Patia because the synthetic path was not ready at the Kanegerava Stadium.
Now, the athletes do not have a 400m line to practice and are forced to depend on the synthetic track at Vidyanagar near Kempegowda International Airport.
“There are not many athletes using a trace of 200m outside the stadium opposite Mallya Hospital,” said Ajay Kumar, a coach.

The athletes had to waste considerable time on the trip between the city and Vidyanagar to practice.
“I have to spend a lot of time taking 80 km per day if I have to train athletes in two sessions at the stadium near Vidyanagar.
I have to travel for 20 km from my house to achieve sports facilities, ” said Arjun Ajay, a coach.
Regarding the lack of the right synthetic lane at the Kanegerava Stadium, Priya H Mohan, who won gold in the 60th senior senior athletic championship in Patiala recently, said that it would be better if the authorities made preparations to install synthetic tracks at the Kanegerava Stadium.
Criticing the Pamew authority because he did not complete the work of the synthetic lane at the Kanegerava Stadium, Elvis Joseph from the Bangalore School Sports Foundation said that it had become a habit for the authorities to postpone the installation.
“This is an embarrassing problem for Pamew authority because it doesn’t complete the synthetic path of 400 meters to date.
How can they ensure youth empowerment if they can’t install synthetic tracks? ” Joseph asked.
Director of Joint Dyse MS Ramesh said the department spent RS 5 Crore to install tracks.
“The work will begin so the rainy season,” “he said.
