The decision has come froward from the government side...

Member-secretary of National Sports Council, Hari Babu Chaudhary informed that the 74th board meeting of NSC, held on June 25, had decided to build the Eastern Regional Stadium in Itahari.

“The decision was taken by majority in the NSC board,” said Chaudhary. “We know there is a dispute over the issue at the local level and we are attempting to forge consensus.”

The construction of the stadium had been thrown in a limbo owing to the ongoing dispute over whether it should be built in Dharan, Itahari or Inaruwa.
