Highschool graveyard ?


In a way, this is encroachment; though technically the Stadium complex shopping center of Nashik is a sanctioned project.

I was a school child, when we use to play lots of games on the High School Ground, as it is called. Like me, this stadium has shaped many youths of Nashik.

Since last one and a half decade, the High School Ground is digging its owe crematory year by year, thanks to our political will, that has succeeded in transforming this last remaining open space into a grave.

The illegal owner of this place, the Zilla Parishad is inching towards transforming the High School Ground into a commercial place.

They have illegally shifted their departments in the stadium premises, where as court has clearly mentioned that that cannot any other activity on this ground except Sports.

ZP dose not possess capacity to run any kind of sporting activity on this prime land of Nashik. The spots associations of Nashik are not united to fight for the cause of sports in the stadium, nor they are strong enough to conduct sports training.

The stadium will turn into childrens graveyard!
What if a city transforming into metropolis, dose not have open space to nurture the young generation? The youth will be diverted towards crime, sex and indiscipline.
