Former Olympian and Arjuna Awardee Edward Sequeira, who represented India in the 5000m at the 1972 Munich Olympics, also fondly known as ‘Eddie’ is one angry man. Eddie is irked about the Mumbai University administrators’ decision to make a 160 m long and 4.5m wide road starting from the Mumbai University Sports Pavilion in Marine Lines. The road would rob the athletes of a warm up area.
