Chandigarh Administration Takes Over Sector 10 Stadium From CLTA
The government in Chandigarh has taken over the Sector 10 Stadium, which was previously run by the Chandigarh Lawn Tennis Association (CLTA).
This happened because the CLTA's lease ended and there were issues with how they were using the stadium.
Now, the government will manage the tennis training and facilities.
This means tennis players in the city can train at lower rates.
The government plans to hire coaches and allow players to continue training while the new fees are finalized.
The stadium has hosted big tennis events, and the government taking over aims to improve facilities and fairness for players.
The Chandigarh Administration took control of Sector 10 Stadium from CLTA after the lease expired.
The UT Sports Department will now manage the tennis training and facilities.
CLTA was given a week's notice to vacate the premises.
The UT Administration cited issues like subletting, running a pro-shop, and objections over CLTA funds as reasons.
The stadium has hosted Davis Cup matches and will now be run by the UT Administration.
