Unhygienic toilets at Nehru Stadium – complaints erupted on Twitter
While the Chennai-Bengaluru match was staged at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai, complaints were raised on Twitter about unsanitary toilets and stands without seats.
In this regard, Jeni Sharani, a fan of Chennaiyin FC, took to her Twitter page and said that this is the condition of women’s restrooms (toilets) in E Block 1, Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Chennai.
Some have no doors or the doors stick out half way. How can it be used without proper doors? How can we use them?
Only two cubicles have working doors. They are also like this. Why are you making it more difficult for us to come to the stadium?” He posted that and asked a question.
Only two cubicles have functioning doors and this is how they are.

As for the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai, it is the Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu (SDAT) which operates under the Government of Tamil Nadu that is taking care of all the responsibilities from supervision. Chennai FC (CFC) rents the ‘Marina Arena’ pitch during ISL matches in Chennai. Meanwhile the Southern club hires the stadium only on match days and minus match days (one day before match days).
Jenisha pointed out that E Stand Level 1 is usually sold out for all matches. Because fans of the Supermachans website gather there. But the stands at the stadium are found to have unusable toilets and unrepaired or missing seats, lest they try to enjoy the match from the ground next time. This has made the fans very sad.
Tamil Nadu Minister Reaction
In this case, Tamil Nadu Youth Welfare and Sports Development Siva V Meiyanathan has said that he will visit the Nehru Stadium in person and that the problems will be resolved by next Friday.
In this regard, in an interview given to a private news magazine yesterday, he said, “I will visit the stadium on Monday. It will be ready by next Friday (when Chennai will play FC Goa in their next ISL home game),” he said.
Update: Sports Minister @SMeyyanathan Sir has promised to visit the stadium today and get it ready by Friday before our next home game.
