Adjacent to the stadium is Mara Mahananda. Due to the lack of enclosure, the entire stadium area was filled with stench. Garbage is scattered around. At present, sports lovers and common people have expressed their anger even though they are in a broken state. Sumit Sarkar, a sports lover, said, “Since the work was left after the stadium was started, six blocks were constructed with the allocated money of around 82 lakh rupees from the MP fund.

But more work is still to be done to make it a full-fledged stadium. This stadium is deprived of big games of state level and district level even if it is a small game. As a resident, I will demand that the stadium be completely renovated.” However, Maldah District Council Assistant Chairman ATM Rafiqul Hossain said, “I have heard the demands of local residents and sports lovers.

There is a need for infrastructural improvement in this football field. A proposal for allocation of Tk 88 lakh for renovation has already been sent to the North Bengal Development Department. If the proposal is accepted, the work will start soon. The stadium will be decorated in a new form. Despite the administration’s promises, it remains to be seen when the long-awaited reforms will finally materialize. And when this field of Chanchal once again became the heart of sports practice.
