Formation

In the 1980s, the Left Front-led Government of West Bengal planned an indoor stadium of national standard in Howrah. The stadium was constructed at Dumurjala, a neighborhood of Santragachi, Shibpur and Ramrajatala, by Howrah Improvement Trust and opened in 1997.[4] Based on the line of Netaji Indoor Stadium, Kolkata, it was originally planned for indoor sports activities. After the construction, only two state-level indoor matches were organized. Then defects in the construction of the galleries and floor came to the forefront. After that Howrah Municipal Corporation took the stadium and started using it for commercial needs.[1]
