Odisha govt issues show cause notice to OCA over power disruption during Barabati ODI
The HinduEmbarrassed over floodlight failure leading to disruption of the second ODI between India and England at Barabati Stadium in Cuttack, the state government on Monday issued a show cause notice to Odisha Cricket Association, seeking a reply within 10 days. In a letter to OCA secretary Sanjay Behera, Odisha’s Sports Director Siddhartha Das said, “The OCA is hereby directed to submit a detailed explanation for the cause of disruption and identify the persons/agencies that were responsible for such lapses and outline the measures taken to prevent similar incidents in the future.” The findings must be submitted within 10 days upon receipt of this letter, the sports department said. OCA secretary Sanjay Behera had told reporters on Sunday that the backup generators could not reach the floodlight tower immediately because the players’ bus was parked near it. “The driver was not in the bus and he was called up and asked to remove the vehicle after which the generators could reach the tower and the power was restored,” Behera had said.
