It will take ages to complete.

Secondly Rajgir doesn't have decent airport connectivity yet (Patna & Gaya are still far away).

Thirdly, Bihar's politicial turmoil is a big issue in organizing the games.

 

Varanasi is miles better in terms of connectivity (rail, road, air) & law & order. It's airport expansion is also in progress.

Those Trishul floodlight towers look awesome. I love the overall design.

Point is that Eastern UP/Bihar despite having a huge population doesn't have a proper cricket stadium.

The people of Eastern UP/ Bihar would probably appreciate better paid teachers in Govt schools than this monstrosity .. .. who pays for this ?

So this thing won't contribute to the economy of Eastern UP?

What made you think those teachers are paid less?

UP govt teachers are paid well, salary is not an issue for them anymore.

Bihar it's a different issue which is known to everyone.

 

Why this stadium is a monstrosity? What does cricket have to do with salary of teachers ? 

East UP has developed immensely infra wise in last 8-9 years, about time it expand it's facilities towards other sectors as well. As every sports infra is setup in West/Central UP.

The state govt leases the' sports/recreational' land to the state cricket association who build a stadium from their coffers, which is basically a hand me down from the BCCI.

 

The UPCA will have to pay a certain amount to various UP state sports/regulatory bodies and will have to make the stadium available to them for a fixed number of days every year.

 

That's how generally these things work. The specifics here could be slightly different , but within the same general set of rules.

That's a stupid argument. That's not how economies work. Why are we making movies worth hundred of crores when that money can be donated to charity? 

 

If you're so concerned kindly donate a portion of your fortune towards UP/Bihar teachers' association. Then preach.
