What could have been a nice built up for the upcoming football season, turned out to be a damp squib. Chirag United's pre-season camp at the historic town of Murshidabad came to a pre-mature end and the team has shifted their base to Kalyani, 65 km from Kolkata.
Excessive power cut has been the main reason to shift the camp from Murshidabad to Kalyani. Chirag United will hold a four week camp at Kalyani; pre-season camp at Murshidabad lasted only for a week.
Team management chose to practice at the serene location of Lalbag, which lies close to the bank of river Baghirathi. However, after six hours of strenuous practice session (three hours each in the morning and evening), players were not able to sleep properly due to power cut. To top it up, there were disturbances from mosquitoes and other insects.
This decision has deprived the local budding talents, who could have learned a lot by witnessing the quality practice sessions from Chirag United.
