After Viral Criticism, Dasharath Stadium Finally Gets A Much-Needed Cleanup
Grass cutting and maintenance have begun at Dasharath Stadium after the playing field became overgrown during the rainy season and drew widespread public criticism. Authorities have started restoring Nepal's premier sports venue to competition-ready condition following concerns over its neglected state.
Maintenance work has officially started at Dasharath Stadium in Kathmandu after the playing surface became heavily overgrown during the rainy season. This week, concerned authorities began cutting grass, cleaning the ground, and carrying out restoration work after widespread criticism over the stadium's neglected condition, aiming to prepare Nepal's premier international sports venue for future competitions.
Months Of Neglect Raised Questions
The stadium had gone without regular sporting events for an extended period, while routine maintenance and field care were not carried out. As a result, thick grass spread across the ground, leaving one of Nepal's most important sporting venues looking neglected.
Public Attention Prompted Action
The condition of the stadium gained national attention after images and reports showing the overgrown field circulated across news outlets and social media. The public response increased pressure on the responsible authorities to restore the venue before upcoming sporting events.
Focus Shifts To Long-Term Management
While the ongoing cleanup is expected to improve the stadium's condition, many sports supporters believe regular maintenance should become a priority rather than a reaction to public criticism. Ensuring consistent care will be essential to keeping Nepal's flagship international stadium ready for national and international competitions throughout the year.
