Eden’s duel in eclipse
. CALCUTTA, Feb 15: The World Cup was hit by a new row here today as organisers threatened to pull the plug on. the. Eden Gardens semifinal unless a new section of the ground was declared safe, reports AFP.
Tournament organising, secretary Jagmohan Dalmiya said he would be forced to move the March 13 semifinal out of Calcutta if the matter was not cleared up within the next four days.
The row began after a new 10,000-seat stand was built to increase the stadium capacity to 111.000 _ making it the largest cricket venue in the world.
The West Bengal govern ment gave its seal of approval in January but the Calcutta Municipal Corporation (CMC), which functions independently of the state government. is refusing to issue a clearance certificate.
Dalmiya complained: "There was no problem at Sun-
day's opening ceremony here. The new galleries stood the test well. I can't understand what the fuss Is about now."
Dalmiya, who runs the ground as the president of the Cripket Association of Bengal (CAB), added: "Unless we get the all-clear signal from the government in the next three or four days, we will not take the responsibility of holding the match.
“I don't know who is supposed to issue the fitness certificate, the state government or the municipal corporation. Everyone has their own version."
But CMC chief Asiam Barman said the additional structure was "not in tune with the building rules" and threatened to prevent the sale of tickets for the semifinal.
"We will not allow the CAB to use the newly-constructed portions if our engineers are not satisfied with the safety standards." he added. The municipal corporation has the final authority. We are responsible if any mishap takes place."
Safety concerns ' about World Cup venues began
when a stadium wall collapsed in Nagpur on November 26 during a one-day international between India and New Zealand, killing 10 people.
The stadium, which hosts the Australia-Zimbabwe Cup game on March 1. was later cleared by the state government of Maharashtra after an internal inquiry..
In Delhi, local authorities blocked new construction at the Feroze Shah Kotla Ground because it did not have the necessary approval.
But cricket official said they were confident the ground would be ready for the India-Sri Lanka match on March’ 2 after they agreed to abide by government regulations.
"Everything will be ready on time," said Sunil Dev. sports secretary of the Delhi and district cricket association.
Visiting cricket teams have felt in the past that at least five venues, Jaipur. Ahmedabad. Gwalior. Cuttack and Baroda, were sub-standard for one reason or another.
