The blockbuster clash between India and Pakistan was a treat to watch for the Indian spectators at Narendra Modi Stadium as India thrashed the 1992 World Cup winners by seven wickets with nearly 20 overs to spare on Saturday. However, the same cannot be said about the experience of some fans at the colossal stadium in Ahmedabad. Quite a few spectators were victims of amenities apathy whose examples ranged from poor sanitation in toilets to insufficient number of exit gates, causing chaos during entry and exit.
Unhygienic washrooms
Mumbai-based cricket fan, Divya Bhagyanath, who was seated in the M stand, said the washrooms were very unhygienic. “The state of the toilets was terrible. I only went once [to the washroom] in the whole day. The flush tanks did not function; I checked 10 loos. There was no attendant to help you. There wasn’t a single dustbin in the toilets; just a cardboard box for you to throw stuff there. Getting water was also painful. Sometimes you’re allowed to take it into the stadium, sometimes you aren’t.”
