Young Democrats district leader Salman Palakkad has demanded the renovation of Indira Gandhi municipal stadium in Palakkad town, which hosted the final of the 1990-91 Santosh Trophy. The stadium is now overgrown with weeds and unfit to host sporting events.

He called on the municipal authorities to clear the overgrowth, carry out repairs and restore the facility for sports training and competitions. He also sought a time-bound plan for its renovation and maintenance, warning of public protests if the authorities failed to act.
