The Thane Municipal Corporation has swung into action to fix the Dadoji Kondev stadium for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to practise here for the upcoming IPL matches. The civic chief also this week allocated a budget for buying new equipment at the stadium.

The KKR team recently sought permission from TMC officials for using the stadium for its practice sessions during their visit from February 4 to 7 and later again in March. TMC commissioner Sanjeev Jaiswal soon visited the stadium to oversee the progress of work, after which he sanctioned the budget for new equipment.
