High altitude sports training centre opens in Munnar
Kerala sports minister will inaugurate Kerala’s first high altitude sports training centre in Munnar on sunday. The training centre is located at a height of 1.5 kilometres above sea level.
The work for the centre started in 1995 and it took over 12 years to complete the project. The total cost of the project so far is around 6 crore rupees. The only other high altitude training centre is in Himachal Pradesh.
Currently the high altitude training centre at Munnar includes hostel facilities, volleyball court and athletic tracks. In the next phase of the project, swimming pool and a gym will be added to the facility.
Editor’s comment: 12 years to build some hostels and volley ball court? I hope the facility is not built on forest land! Otherwise achuthanandan will have to send his bulldozer there.
