Meghalaya Sports Minister Shakliar Warjri has informed that the BCCI has taken a stadium at Madan Kurkalang Ri-bhoi District for transforming into a very big cricket stadium as per national standards.
“We are in talks to come up within a big stadium in the Ri Bhoi area but it will take another two to three months to finalise everything,” the Sports Minister said.
Talking about the development of Sports infrastructure in the state, he said, the upgraded JN Stadium Sports Complex in Shillong will be inaugurated in December.
“The Progress is doing well, we are planning to inaugurate the upgraded JN Stadium Sports Complex in December, and this will be done by December 2024,” Warjri said.
