The US-made Daktronics electronic timer, installed by the National Sports Council in late 2019 at a cost of Tk 4 crore as part of an Tk 8.5 crore renovation project, has remained unused in national events for five years due to faulty timekeeping.
Bangladesh Swimming Federation (BSF) is considering appointing three foreign coaches to improve and make its mark in diving and water polo events along with swimming events in various competitions.
“I don’t want to talk about the lack of facilities anymore. Many journalists have come before, interviewed me about it, but nothing ever happens,” said Masud Rana, a Bogura-based swimming instructor, who was frustrated by the years of false promises and obliviousness of the authorities.
