Hectic work for WC and IPL





1400 workers are working 24 hours to make the Mecca of Indian Cricket, Eden Gardens, ready.

The 80 crore renovation project has started. More comforts to spectators and players ( One commentator remarked that it may reduce revenue generation, as there will be less seats ).

The first WC match at Eden Gardens will be on Feb 27.

In Kochi, hectic work is in progress for the General Stadium at Kaloor to be ready for the IPL matches. The floodlights contract has been given to Philips. It was Philips who did the floodlights at Bangalore and Chennai.
