In a bid to preserve the sanctity of its stadia that also host non-sports events during the off season, the Sports Authority of India (SAI) has introduced significantly higher tariffs and stringent penalties for organisers who fail to return the five facilities in Delhi in good condition after such gatherings.
SAI has five venues in Delhi — Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee Swimming Pool Complex, Indira Gandhi Sports Complex, Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium, Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium (JLN) and Dr Karni Singh Shooting Range.
