New Vaddem ground to figure in House
VASCO: Admitting that the football ground at New Vaddem is in a bad state, Dabolim MLA Mauvin Godinho has assured to raise the issue in the Assembly.
“I will take up the playground issue in the Assembly and ensure that the ground is restored so that youth of New Vaddem and others develop their talent there,” Godinho told The Goan.
Commenting on the dilapidated condition of the football ground at New Vaddem, which is under the Directorate of Sports Authority, Godinho said he will also pursue the matter with authorities concerned.
Aaron Alvares, a regular player on the ground, complained that the surface has become uneven, making it dangerous to play on the ground, while another player claimed that there had been no maintenance of the ground since the past three years.
Another resident of New Vaddem said some anti-social elements consume alcohol at the ground in the evening and later break the bottles on the playing area. "The lights fixed at the ground are also out of order,” said the resident.
