Officers from the eastern command inspected the Eden Gardens on Wednesday to ascertain if there has been any deviation from the structural plan that was submitted to the army by the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) while seeking permission for construction activities.

The CAB handed over a detailed report to the army officers on modifications to the stadium following a three-hour meeting.

“We have met CAB officials and our engineers are now examining the plan that has been handed to us. It would take us a day or two to determine whether there has been any shift from the original construction plan. If there has been, we will take appropriate action,” Col. Debasish Mitra of the eastern command told Metro.

“We have deviated from the plan in a few areas. The transformer room, which was supposed to be in Block B, has been shifted to Block A. A venue operating centre that is not in the plan has been built. We believe these things can be sorted out,” said Chitrak Mitra, the secretary of the Eden Garden’s ground committee.

Since the army is the custodian of the Maidan, organisations need its permission for any construction on the greens. The CAB had to submit a detailed plan and obtain the army’s nod before work began on the renovation of the Eden Gardens, in keeping with the International Cricket Council’s directive for stadiums hosting World Cup matches.

The CAB now needs another clearance from the eastern command before matches are played at the Eden.
