Stating that the new sports complex, which will be built in sector 31 here, will the thrown open within a year, Rajeev Sharma, XEN, HSVP (Haryana Shahri Vikas Pradhikaran), said that it would be an indoor complex having facilities for various games
Being an indoor one, the players here would be able to train or compete without any hindrance from sun or rain, he said
The total cost of the project is Rs 19.83 crore and is scheduled to be completed within 12 months. The tenders of the work have been released and work on the ground is expected to begin any time, he said
The project will be carried out under the Chief Minister announcements programme. Union Minister for State Krishan Pal Gurjar had also recently claimed that Faridabad would be the first city to have two indoor stadiums
On the other hand, the first indoor stadium, being built at the sector 12 sports complex here by the HSVP, has not been completed even after six years. Though the project was taken up in 2002, the work remained suspended till 2012
