Eco clearance for new stadium

The State-level Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) has accorded clearance for the construction of the greenfield stadium on the campus of the University of Kerala, Karyavattom, being built in connection with the 35{+t}{+h}National Games.

In the order issued on Wednesday by the SEIAA member-secretary James Varghese, the authority has stipulated certain conditions for the National Games Secretariat (NGS) to comply with while constructing the stadium. This includes the provision that the existing and proposed roads leading to the highways should be wide enough to enable the free movement of fire engines and vehicular traffic and that the slope of the internal roads should be rectified appropriately.

The NGS has also been asked to provide weep holes in the compound walls at the project site to ensure natural drainage of rainwater during the monsoon period.

Solid waste management system should be established by the NGS, without depending on the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation, in accordance with the provisions/guidelines of the State Pollution Control Board. The order says the compliance with these conditions will be monitored by the State Directorate of Environment and Climate Change and the Regional Office of the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests, Bangalore. Further to this, the Authority has also issued an 11-point general conditions to be followed by the NGS on matters, including rainwater harvesting, the formation of an environment monitoring cell and the planting of suitable avenue trees.

“We have already acquired the land at Karyavattom, but right now the plan is to develop it into a ground capable of hosting first class matches with pavilions and hostel facilities. The building of the stadium and other things would be carried out only at a later stage,” said Krishnaprasad.

Wonder what the heck he is talking about?! Anyways, sans any help from the Kerala (?) CA, the State will soon have its very first purpose-built international cricket stadium in the Capital. I am sure the KCA is very welcome to host matches here. In fact, a little birdie tells me that preliminary discussions to this effect have already happened.

Maybe this guy is talking about developing StXaviers ground at Thumba which KCA planned to give as "compensation" or more aptly "pitcha" to capital city for hosting first class matches..

Thiruvananthapuram Earning its Sporting Stripes

With the 35th National Games slated for December 2013 in the State, Thiruvananthapuram will get a stadium, in fact a “mini-township” for sports, which is expected bridge that infrastructure gap to a large extent. The international stadium and sporting facility is coming up at Karyavattom, near the University of Kerala campus and a few kilometres from Technopark. It will be the main Games venue.

The Rs. 161-crore complex, coming up on about 15 hectares of land, is said to be one of the biggest investment and infrastructure development initiatives in the field of sports in India. The complex will include facilities to host, and train in, multidisciplinary sports events. Chief Minister Oommen Chandy recently inaugurated its construction.

“This is going to be a truly international sports complex with state-of-the-art facilities. This project is a first-of-its-kind initiative in the country in many ways, and it is going to be a coveted asset for the sports sector in the country,” Amit Mallick, Chief Executive Officer of the National Games Secretariat, says. At the heart of the project will be a spectacular sporting arena, an international standard stadium with a seating capacity of 50,000. The “seating bowl” of the stadium is designed to have a variety of seating types configured around the circular ground. Specially designed seats and ramps for people with disabilities will be a feature.

External video-boards, public telephones, ATMs, public toilet facilities, merchandising outlets, food and beverage outlets, space for hawking and vending carts, a system for effective crowd control and emergency exits are among the features included in the design.

Player facilities in the stadium will include changing rooms and lockers for athletes, football and cricket players and umpires, a first-aid room, a drug testing room, a players’ lounge and family room and Hall of Fame, a space to display trophies and memorabilia.

The media facilities will include a press box, an interview room, interview areas at the pitch level, a television pre- and post-production studio, a radio broadcasting booth, camera platforms and a commentary box.

The stadium elevation has been designed to emphasise simplicity and slenderness of edges. Half the seats will have roof cover, which, though economical and lightweight, has been designed to reflect modern design aspirations. The stadium roof will house the lighting and emergency lighting services, public address systems and dish antennas and other broadcast equipment.

The complex will include an indoor sports complex with facilities for basketball, badminton, volleyball, handball, table tennis and other indoor events.

An Olympics-size swimming pool and allied facilities, a gymnasium and spa and two tennis courts will complement the facilities.
