At the MCA Annual General Meeting yesterday, Prof Shetty said: &ldquo;The denominations of the tickets that were allocated to people and what they actually got was a mess. There was one area of the ground for which there was no cost mentioned on the tickets.&rdquo;
He also pointed out that unnecessary expenditure was incurred during the Test. &ldquo;The catering cost of the match came to Rs 1.93 crore. Even if food is ordered at the rate of Rs 1000 per plate, I want to know who were those people who ate food. We should curtail such expenses,&rdquo; said Prof Shetty.
There were issues raised about the indoor facilities at the Bandra Kurla Complex as well. Prof Shetty said, &ldquo;The indoor facility that we have is the best in the world. I am surprised that despite the carpet (that needed to be changed on one of the strips) being supplied by the supplier, it hasn&rsquo;t been laid out yet.&rdquo; Shetty also pointed out the increase in the legal expenditure that MCA has incurred in the recent past.
