TWO GATES OF HOLKAR stadium, an IPL venue, and the office of senior Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) official were sealed by the civic body for non-payment of property tax worth over Rs 29 lakh.
The Indore stadium is slated to hold three IPL games in the coming month, however, the recent development may force the IPL governing body to make changes in its schedule. As reported by PTI, IMC Deputy Commissioner Pratap Singh Solanki said,
“An IMC team sealed the office of Chief Executive Officer located in the MPCA’s administrative building and two main gates of Holkar Stadium for not paying property tax dues worth Rs 29,90,605. The action was taken in accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Corporation Act, 1956.”
On the other hand, MPCA CEO Rohit Pandit said that the association will sort all issues and try to get the stadium ready for the IPL games.
“The IMC gave us a demand letter last evening but sealed our property even before the completion of 24 hours. We will soon take suitable step to sort out this issue.”
Holkar stadium, which is the home ground of Kings XI Punjab, is scheduled to hold games on April 8, 10 and 20.
