Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government has given in-principle approval for the construction of a multipurpose indoor stadium along with a 25-meter swimming pool at Udayabata in Kujang Block of Jagatsinghpur district.
The project aims to provide world-class sports infrastructure for athletes and sports enthusiasts in the region.
In an official communication, Dr. Swarupananda Sahu, Officer on Special Duty in the Sports and Youth Services Department, has asked District Collector J.
