P R E S S R E L E A S E Sports lovers were shocked to hear that the only football ground at Campal, Panjim is going to be demolished so as to pave the way for the parking of vehicles for the feeble few who will be attending the IFFI. This ground is there since generations and has nurtured many players who have excelled not only at the State, but also at the international level. Further, a lot of sentiments are attached to this playground due to its adorning nature and demolishing this ground for other purpose is to be likened to a man who demolished a house so as to bring the rich man�s camel inside the house through the narrow door. Let better sense and sanity prevail. The Campal stadium holds a promising future for sportsperson of this generation and also for the generations to come and the government in all seriousness has to do a rethought to maintain the status quo. Such type of wanton destruction is uncalled for and unwarranted. The conversion of this playground for other purpose should not take place, so feel many sportspersons who have called upon me to air their grievances. Having represented the State team at the National level in football, I too firmly endorse the views of the people that the government instead of demolishing this stadium should take measures to develop this ground by providing it with better infrastructure for the benefit and development of sports in the State.
