When we have reports about local pools being shut for months, for various reasons all the proclamations about making India a multi-sport powerhouse seem to ring hollow. This paper reported how authorities seem to be playing dirty pool at Mulund's Priyadarshini Sports Complex, famously known as the Kalidas Swimming Pool. The BMC-run pool has been in shambles for over two years, members claimed in the report.

The pool has now been shut to the public for over a month citing repairs. Members said they had forgotten that the colour of water in swimming pools is blue as the water in the Mulund pool had turned green years ago!
