“The government is considering whether such a project can be undertaken independently or whether collaboration with professional sports bodies would be more effective,” he said.
Dulloo said partnerships with organisations such as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), other sports associations, and members of the business community are also being explored to ensure professional management and sustainability of the stadium.
He added that the proposed stadium could help promote sports culture in Jammu and Kashmir, provide better facilities for local talent, and open doors for hosting major sporting events in the region.
