Hyderabad: Sports enthusiasts have some news to cheer about as the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is setting up a series of modern facilities for them in different parts of the city.

Among others, a swimming pool at Owaisi Play Ground in Golconda, sports complex at Katedan, swimming pool at Sachivalaya Nagar in Vanasthalipuram and a football stadium at Barkas are the four facilities where construction is presently underway at a brisk pace.

To encourage sports, a total of 18 projects which include indoor stadiums, swimming pools, etc., have been taken up with an estimated cost of Rs 86.61 crore by the civic body. Among them, four are under progress while the one at Gajularamaram, is ready for inauguration.

The GHMC has already brought into use four of the sports facilities and according to the officials, remaining projects were under various stages of implementation.

The infrastructure in the city is taken up to encourage budding sports talent and provide them with a platform by the State government and these facilities are on par with the services offered by private ones.

The sports complex at Katedan has a swimming pool equipped with change rooms and other facilities for swimmers. The officials said that quality was ensured in every aspect of the work right from brick work, masonry to plastering and flooring etc in these sports facilities.

The new infrastructure coming up is in addition to the existing seven swimming pools, 12 sports complexes, 521 playgrounds in the GHMC limits. According to officials, the sports facilities are also generating revenue and since April 2021 to December 2021, over Rs 90 lakh was generated by leasing out these facilities.

“The GHMC charges a nominal fee to ensure the sports facilities are utilised by people from all sections of society especially the poor. Despite the lower fee structure, a good revenue is being generated,” he said.
