The Jawarhal Nehru Stadium (JLN), the nation's premier training facility for athletes of all sports, is in ruins following Diljit Dosanjh's two-day performance in New Delhi.

Athletes were astounded by the condition of the stadium and the training facilities when they arrived on Monday morning. It was nearly impossible to breathe, let alone train, due to the abundance of plastic bags, food waste, beer bottles, and trash heaps.

Due to Diljit Dosanjh's musical event on October 26 and 27, the track was closed for ten days. As organizers clean up, it is anticipated to stay closed for a few more days. As a result, a number of competitors have been forced to relocate to the less-maintained warm-up track outside the main stadium in order to prepare for the Junior National Championships and other local events. This has interfered with their training, they said.

SAI responded to the criticism by explaining that the event was allowed because there were no training camps planned at the time. They pointed out that elite, junior, and sub-junior athletes are not currently served by the JLN Stadium, which primarily serves youngsters in the Come and Play program.

Coaches disputed this, pointing out that athletes train there from places like Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Bihar. The stadium is essential for many top, up-and-coming, and para-athletes because many out-of-town athletes depend on adjacent rental lodgings.
