The desire of denizens of Biratnagar to watch night sports has materialised with the installation of floodlights at the local Sahid Maidan Stadium.
The stadium in Biratnagar is the second one installing the floodlights after Dasharath Stadium of Kathmandu.
Inaugurating the floodlights on Monday evening, Chief Minister of Province 1, Sherdhan Rai, said that the government has completed its works as per the commitment made three years ago.
It will be easier to organise national and international sports championships in the area after the operation of floodlights, he added.
