He attended the valedictory function of national level sports event ‘Khelo India’ at AC Subba Reddy stadium on Sunday and said the government has been committed to develop infrastructure in the stadia even though facing severe fund crunch.
Speaking on the occasion, Chandramohan Reddy said that the sports village was being developed at Mogallapalem village in around 150 acres for National Games in 2019. “Basic amenities have been developed at the sports village with Rs.6 crore,” he said.
