HIGHLIGHTS
- Cyclone Amphan was one of many worst cyclones to hit town in many years
- Eden Gardens spared from Amphan’s wrath
- We do not suppose any main injury has occurred to Eden Gardens: CAB president
The pitch and the outfield areas remained completely unaffected from the Amphan, one of many worst cyclones to hit town in many years.
“Looking at the disaster that has taken place, it’s natural for some damage to have occurred. But, prima facie, we don’t think there’s any major damage to the Eden. That said we cannot take any chances,” CAB President Avishek Dalmiya stated.
“We will consult our structural engineer to look into the issues. If needed, we will implement whatever suggestion we get from the structural engineer,” he added.
Elaborating on the areas that want restore, he stated: “The guide scoreboard (at D block) needs to be appeared into. Besides, few fibre sheets above blocks G and H additionally want minor repairs, whereas glass panes of two of the company packing containers must be changed.
“The structural engineer will inspect the venue and submit a detailed report. Majority of the issues should be sorted very shortly,” the CAB President stated.
