The Department of Youth Empowerment and Sports has released Rs 30 lakh to take up work on renovation and provide facilities at General Thimayya District Stadium in Madikeri.

According to officials, a proposal for Rs 6 crore has been submitted for laying the synthetic track, a walking path and other facilities at the stadium.
