The assessment reveals that blockages in the drainage systems, caused by ongoing construction in Indoor Hall 1 and Indoor Hall 2, combined with heavy torrential downpour, resulted in water saturation and accumulation throughout the stadium, ultimately leading to the collapse of the retaining wall.
In a statement, Commissioner & Secretary in-charge Sports & Youth Affair Dr Vijay Kumar said the initial cause has been noted as damage under the duress of heavy rains experienced in Tura and the West Garo Hills region. No casualties have been suffered as a result of the incident.
