Just over two months after it was inaugurated, the shelter over the spectators’ gallery at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee stadium in H.S.R. Layout came down during the heavy winds on Sunday evening. The stadium was inaugurated by Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai on March 1.
This has raised questions over the poor quality of civic works in the city. It is only recently that the Karnataka State Contractors’ Association alleged that the “40% kickbacks” in contracts in the State had made quality of works suffer.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will be staging a protest at the stadium questioning the poor quality of work and the misuse of public funds on Tuesday.
