Sports Lovers in Secunderabad seem to be facing a tough time playing some good sports with their friends and teammates as places to play and train in the Secunderabad Cantonment Board are slowly becoming close to nil. The SCB is neglecting few facilities that need total repair.
This makes players travel to different grounds in the GHMC areas and play there in a new location. The SCB, however, has no division to look over the sports aspects in the area. Compared to more than 50 proper playgrounds in the GHMC circle, the Secunderabad area has a small number of 5 or 6 grounds Tirmulgherry, Mudfort, Bolaram, and Bowenpally and Paradise.
While GHMC has a treasury where the money goes to the maintenance of facilities and into the training of sportspeople, nothing happens in Secunderabad Cantonment Board. The only organized sports body and a maintained facility in the Secunderabad area are at the YMCA building, which has a proper basketball court and hundreds of children coached by some of the city's best minds.
While the pandemic had dimmed this request by sports lovers in Secunderabad for more sports facilities and other support, but the return of public sports are seeing people try their best to reach out to authorities to do something about it and bring back the busy schedule of sports in Secunderabad Cantonment.
