Narayani Advertising and Event Pvt Ltd organized Bharatpur Mayor Cup One Day Cricket Tournament which is taking place today. The venue for the competition is Gautam Buddha International Cricket Stadium.
Inaugurating the tournament amid a function today, Bharatpur Metropolitan City Mayor, Renu Dahal said that the good news about the stadium was that the construction of the stadium which had been halted, would pace soon.
The International Cricket Stadium which was supported by the Dhurmus-Suntali Foundation run by comedians Sitaram Kattel and Kunjana Ghimire was left midway due to lack of funding. The construction work could not resume due to failure to pay back longstanding loans taken out for the project, said Mayor Dahal.
The Cabinet has yet to endorse loans for the project, she said. Chitwan, Makawanpur, and Nawalpur have taken part in the tournament that will run until March 31.
