Players warn that continued use of the courts could result in serious injuries, emphasizing the need for urgent remedial measures.
According to players, all three wooden courts inside the hall developed large lumps and uneven patches after floodwater entered the stadium during the major floods that hit Jammu in September last year.
The water severely damaged the flooring, and since then the courts have steadily deteriorated.
“The courts are no longer safe for play.
The uneven surface can easily cause ankle, knee, or back injuries,” a player said.
