Ami Ravat, the opposition leader in the Vadodara Mahanagar Seva Sadan (VMSS), paid a visit to the shuttered Karelibaug gymnasium and swimming pool, which opened in 2016.
The Karelibaug swimming pool was built at a budget of thirteen crores and got inaugurated in 2016. However, due to the pandemic, the pool and gymnasium were shut down, resulting in poor maintenance by the authorities; a non-operational State-Of-The-Art Gym is still without a gym-trainer with rusty equipment conditions.
On Thursday, after many complaints from the citizens, Ami Ravat visited the swimming pool and reviewed the condition of the gymnasium. She demands that the gym starts at the earliest, with proper functionality.
“I received pictures from citizens about the unhygienic condition of the swimming pool once it resumed after the pandemic. During my visit, I found the lack of routine maintenance and especially the condition of the state of art gym which is yet to start. We demand to start the gymnasium with a proper trainer at the earliest and also an inquiry into the lack of routine maintenance of the swimming pool and its facilities,” said Ravat.
