“The jogging track’s concrete slab was built in accordance with the design and measurements given by the company that produced the synthetic rubber used on the track. The slab will be 5 inches thick as per the requirement. And concrete (slab) is made up of 4-meter blocks to make it last long and for easy maintenance,” the company said.
