Rebuild our grounds

January 21, 2018

The continued government negligence has caused great damage to our sports grounds. Many playing grounds have been either encroached upon by land grabbers or turned into trash yards due to the carelessness of local communities. This national apathy has negatively affected the physical well-being of citizens. Without proper playgrounds or walking tracks, people do not have any other place to go to for morning exercise.

This lack of physical activity is the primary cause of increasing number of obesity and diabetes cases. Sports also play a vital role in the healthy development of our mind. The government should put concentrated efforts in the revival of our abandoned sports grounds so that citizens could have some relaxing places to visit.
