Prayagraj Master Plan-2031 lacks provisions for sports facilities

The Prayagraj Master Plan-2031 does not include new sports facilities, despite the city's history of producing sports stars. The plan focuses on expanding commercial areas and increasing the development authority's limits but lacks provisions for new stadiums. Currently, Prayagraj has only two major sports venues. A proposal for a new outdoor stadium has been discussed for nearly 20 years but has not progressed. Previous plans for a stadium in Jhunsi and later in Phaphamau have stalled. PDA Secretary Ajit Kumar Singh stated that while the Master Plan lacks a stadium, it does not prevent future construction. He mentioned that land would be available if a proposal for a sports complex is submitted.
