The Karnataka Cabinet has given its official approval for a major sports complex at Jakkur Aerodrome in Bengaluru. This decision came during a closed-door meeting where ministers cleared the ambitious project.
Government Moves Forward with Sports Infrastructure Plan
Following the Cabinet's green light, the Department of Youth Empowerment and Sports will now take charge of the project. This department serves as the official custodian of the Jakkur Aerodrome property.
Next Steps for the Sports Complex Development
The department has received clear instructions to prepare detailed plans for the sports complex. Officials must create comprehensive blueprints that outline the facility's design, features, and construction timeline.
Additionally, the department will submit a formal petition to the Karnataka High Court. This legal document will present the government's complete proposal for developing the sports complex at the aerodrome site.
The government's move signals a significant investment in sports infrastructure for Bengaluru. Jakkur Aerodrome, located in the northern part of the city, will transform into a hub for athletic training and competitions.
Local sports enthusiasts have welcomed this development. Many believe the new complex will provide much-needed facilities for various sports disciplines across Karnataka.
The Cabinet's decision reflects the state government's commitment to youth development through sports. By converting underutilized aerodrome space into a sports complex, authorities aim to create new opportunities for athletes and coaches.
Officials expect the planning phase to begin immediately. The Department of Youth Empowerment and Sports will coordinate with urban planners, architects, and sports experts to create an optimal facility design.
This project represents one of Bengaluru's largest sports infrastructure initiatives in recent years. The city continues to expand its recreational and athletic facilities to meet growing demand from residents and professional athletes alike.
