Mohali Deputy Mayor Kuljit Singh Bedi has raised concerns about the deteriorating condition of the Phase 9 sports stadium, citing the theft of expensive solar panels. He attributed the theft to administrative negligence, specifically the lack of a boundary wall near a drain, which allowed easy access for thieves. These panels were intended to provide year-round hot water for the stadium's swimming pool, enabling all-weather training. Bedi called for a high-level inquiry into the matter and action against negligent officials.
