Harrison did not make any comment about the condition of the work, but he felt dissatisfaction on ground leveling of the turf installation. His visit would make final touches of the turf to be utilized soon. Officials of La Monte Sports who are engaged for the installation work assured that the leveling work would be done within three or four days.
Representatives from Italy’s La Monte Sports are at work on the unfolding and adjustment of the artificial football turf since January 8. La Monte officials had set February 15 as the deadline to complete the project, but it defered and now it is proposed to be completed and utilized by first week of March.
However, the AMFA officials are hoping that the weather does not play spoilsport in the completion of the project. On the development of the surrounding areas, including the drainage system. The layout had been completed.
The Fifa project deals with the development of the football ground and the artificial turf. The state government will take care of other essential components like the dressing room, drainage system and the gallery.

Synthetic grass is used in residential areas, playgrounds and for sports turf. It is durable, lasting up to 10 years and easy to care for. However, even synthetic grass needs to be cleaned, particularly if pets are using it. Light, regular cleaning helps keep the larger cleaning tasks to a minimum. The frequency of bigger cleanings depends on how the grass is used. If pets are eliminating on the grass it will need to be sterilized more frequently.
