New Basketball Courts in Ludhiana and Hisar Face Early Repair Issues
Two recently completed basketball courts in India have faced quality issues shortly after opening. Ludhiana's indoor court at Guru Nanak Stadium, built under the Smart City Mission, required major repairs less than a year after use due to uneven flooring and construction defects. In Hisar, a synthetic basketball court at Mahavir Stadium developed cracks within five days, prompting repairs under warranty. Both cases have raised concerns about construction quality and adherence to technical standards, with authorities initiating inquiries and corrective actions.
