Bagan ground receives fit certificate for Local League!

Today Kolkata Police granted the Mohun Bagan's Maidan ground fit as Bagan's home ground for holding the Kolkata Football League. KP is impressed with the new fencing that has been constructed and the seating arrangement and condition of the galleries also satisfied the officials.
However, Bagan's demand to hold the I League matches at the Club ground was looked into by the AIFF and they have informed Bagan that they need to repair their flood lights at the club ground in order to be eligible for a hosting I league ties. Bagan secretary Anjan Mitra had approached the Government of Bengal on this issue but had been denied at the first instant as the cost of repairing the flood lights amount to 3 crores. Bagan secretary claims that the maintenance of the flood lights is the responsibility of PWD(Public Works Dept.) and so the Govt should be held liable for the repairs of the same.
