District Torghar Sports Promotion Budget: Strong Allocation on Paper, Weak Visibility in Practice

musarrat ullah jan -
  Musarrat Ullah Jan , KikxNow , Digital Creator sIn District Torghar, the sports promotion budget (A05270 – “To Others”) reflects an allocation that appears encouraging at first glance but raises important questions when examined in detail. The head for sports promotion was originally set at 1.2 million , later increased to a final approved budget of 2.0 million . Out of this, 1.7 million was released and fully utilized , showing complete absorption of the released funds. However, 300,000 remained unreleased , meaning planned activities under this portion never reached implementation. At face value, the spending performance looks efficient because the released amount was fully expended. But a deeper look shows structural concerns. Out of a total district sports budget of 8.83 million , a large portion is absorbed by salaries, allowances, and administrative costs. This leaves sports development itself relatively underfunded compared to operational expenses. The “Sports Prom...

musarrat ullah jan -
  Musarrat Ullah Jan , KikxNow , Digital Creator Financial records from the District Sports Office Hangu, based on Finance Department data, show significant discrepancies between allocated budgets, released funds, and actual expenditures across multiple budget heads. Several payroll and allowance categories reflect unusual accounting patterns, where expenditures were recorded despite inconsistencies in released budgets. In multiple instances, expenditures appear under heads that initially show no clearly released allocation, raising questions about budget execution controls and documentation transparency. The most notable observation comes from budget head A05270 (To Others), commonly associated with sports promotion and related activities. The data shows: Budget: PKR 6,685,000 Expenditure: PKR 6,684,398 Remaining: PKR 602 This indicates nearly complete utilization of the allocated funds. However, the absence of detailed breakdowns on how these funds were spent leaves...

Athletes Struggle for Space as Kohat Sports Complex Indoor Hall Turns into Registration Centre

musarrat ullah jan -
  Musarrat Ullah Jan , KikxNow , Digital Creator Kohat: Despite repeated claims of promoting sports infrastructure, athletes in Kohat Sports Complex are reportedly struggling to find space for training after a newly constructed indoor hall was converted into a registration centre for Afghan refugees. According to local sources, the indoor hall was built around a year ago for female sports activities and indoor games. However, instead of serving athletes regularly, the facility has reportedly hosted fewer sporting events while being used more often for non-sports activities. The latest development has further deepened concerns among athletes, as NADRA authorities have now established a registration centre for Afghan refugees inside the same hall. This has significantly disrupted sports activities at the complex, forcing local players to search for alternative places to train. Officials at the registration centre said the facility will continue operating at the sports complex...

Modern Hockey Has Changed, But Pakistan’s Selection System Remains Stuck in the Past

musarrat ullah jan -
    Musarrat Ullah Jan KikxNow , Digital Creator Modern hockey has undergone a complete transformation over the last two decades, but Pakistan’s team selection system remains trapped in an outdated structure that no longer meets the demands of the modern game. Across the world, hockey powers have shifted away from the traditional model where selection committees decide the fate of players. In modern systems, the head coach has the primary authority to build the squad according to tactical needs, player versatility, and game strategy. Pakistan, however, still relies heavily on conventional selection committees, a system experts believe is slowing down the country's progress in international hockey. The nature of hockey has changed dramatically since 2000. It is now a faster, more tactical, and more physically demanding sport. The introduction of the four-quarter format, rolling substitutions, and flexible player roles has made adaptability one of the most important qu...
