Need to join hands for Squash!!!

Friends...our worst fears are almost coming to fruition!! DDA Siri Fort Squash Courts are being brought down/rebuilt in the name of CWG2010. Thus, they will be shut for all squash lovers for the next 18 months.

We don't mind it if it had the good of Squash or CWG2010 at the heart of it all. As per SRFI 12 new courts being constructed within this complex are enough for the training as well as conduct of the Squash event at CWG2010. So why rebuild the existing 4 courts where lots of kids as well as members have their daily sessions?

Some of our arguments go as follows:
  1. Its a waste of the tax payers money...especially when there is NO REQUIREMENT for rebulding the 4 courts complex
  2. There is no need to convert these into AC courts....this is bound to put them out of access of a number of Economically Weaker Section (EWS) kids as well as school kids who currently pay a nominal 10/ per day to play Squash in the complex
  3. We don't mind the courts being renovated one/two at a time
  4. Any change/renovation etc must be NEED BASED & done with foresight
  5. Any construction/destruction cannot be justified in the name of CWG2010!!
