It is reported
that there has been a loss of millions of rupees in the procurement of modern
sports equipment for Sugathadasa Sports Complex.
Its reports
that has unable obtained proper quality equipment even though there was a
tender for sports goods worth crores of rupees in the last year 2021. However,
this money has been misappropriated because bought many items including
exercise mats for the gymnastics ground without proper utilization.
Also, in the
event that the staff panel has been mentioned in a letter in this regard, an
investigation will be conducted through the auditor general about this waste of
money done by the the previous officers. However, it has been learned that the
administrators have not taken any steps to the relevant request or bring those
responsible for this waste of money to justice.
After the
installation of the gymnastic exercise equipment worth nearly two crore rupees
which had been bought in the past on the wooden floor of the stadium, has to
purchase a large stock of 'tape' which was to be charged a high amount for
every sports event. This problem is exacerbated when special equipment has to
be used to remove those tapes. A serious misappropriation of funds has occurred
as authorities been pay the supplier of these sporting goods. However, the
failure so far to settle properly is regrettable.
Not only that,
but also the low quality equipments been purchased in the past used by
international athletes during athletics competitions. Accordingly, due to the
fact that the equipment cannot be used now, a huge amount of money has also
been lost.
