The $4 million Govind Park Ba project was poorly managed and it does not comply with the proper safety standards says Minister for Finance Biman Prasad.
Prasad visited the Govind Park in Ba yesterday accompanied by representatives from the Ba Town Council.
The purpose of this visit was to assess the structural integrity of the facility, which had raised concerns due to reported issues of poor construction.

Prasad says the project has been a disaster and it was badly handled.
He says the people of Ba for the last six years have been denied the opportunity to hold any sort of tournament.
