  Delayed Announcement and Inaction Hinder Effective Implementation of KPK's Sports Policy By Musarrat Ullah Jan Peshawar ,   Startling revelations have surfaced regarding the lack of progress in implementing Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province's sports policy, which places a strong emphasis on safety and risk management. Despite the provincial government's announcement of a Sports Management Committee in 2018, the committee remains inactive, raising serious concerns about oversight and safety standards.   The Provincial Sports Management Committee, intended to provide strategic guidance and recommendations to the Department of Sports, has failed to fulfill its obligations since its establishment. The committee was entrusted with administering the Provincial Sports Fund, categorizing sports facilities, setting standards, and collaborating with other agencies to promote sports throughout KPK.   Regrettably, reports indicate that the committee has not been operation

    Peshawar... The Sports Directorate of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has issued a notice to individuals residing in the hostel rooms, demanding payment for their accommodations. It has come to light that several officials from various departments have been utilizing the facilities without fulfilling their financial obligations.   A significant number of individuals, including former DG Sports and their relatives, have been residing in the hostel for an extended period. Despite availing themselves of essential amenities such as electricity, gas, and other necessities, many individuals, including some officers, have failed to make payments to the provincial sports directorate for over a decade. The outstanding rent dues have accumulated to millions of rupees.   Under the new leadership of the DG Sports, the administration has discovered that several officers have been occupying rooms within the Provincial Sports Directorate without paying any rent for an extended period.   #KikxNow

    Peshawar - The District Sports Office in Peshawar continues to withhold crucial information regarding the activities of the year 2022.

In light of this incident, a case has been filed in the high Court, highlighting the recruitment of individuals based on fake documents and Naeemullah Wazir's ordeal.   The attack on Naeemullah Wazir, who hails from South Waziristan and is an esteemed football player, took place outside the mosque near the Provincial Sports Directorate. The incident occurred yesterday when Naeemullah visited the Minister of Sports Directorate, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He has already challenged the use of forged documents in the former FATA Sports Directorate, and his case is currently being heard in the Peshawar High Court. Fortunately, officials from the sports directorate intervened and saved Naeemullah Wazir from further harm.   Following the assault on the football coach, who also runs a football academy in South Waziristan, the Gulberg police stat

    Peshawar, - The much-anticipated inter-madaras sports competitions in the merged districts have faced a setback as the finance department of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa failed to release the necessary funds on time. Consequently, these highly anticipated sporting events could not be organized as planned. However, recent reports suggest that the competitions will now be held towards the end of the financial year, following the allocation of funds by the Finance Department of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.   The delay in releasing funds has caused disappointment among students studying in madrasahs across the merged districts, who were eagerly looking forward to showcasing their talents on a competitive platform. In light of these circumstances, the sports directorate of the merged districts is under increased pressure to efficiently organize the competitions and ensure a successful event.   The administration recognizes the importance of such inter-madars ,   in promoting sports and fostering

    Peshawar, - The eagerly awaited inter-madaras   competition in the merged districts is set to take place next week, featuring the participation of talented students from madrasahs across the province.

    Peshawar... Players associated with Muazullah Khan Cricket Academy are urging the Director General of Sports Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to take immediate action and remove the watchman stationed at the academy. The players claim that the watchman not only mistreats young athletes but also resorts to verbal abuse on occasions, aggravating the situation. According to the players, the appointment of a watchman at the academy's entrance, responsible for checking identification cards and fees, has caused unnecessary inconvenience. These procedures are typically carried out at the main gate, and players are granted access to the cricket club after verification. The players express their astonishment, stating that no watchman was ever employed at the academy before. Moreover, they highlight the alarming fact that smoking is openly permitted in the presence of coaches, which has raised concerns about the overall environment. The incident involving a father reprimanding the watchman for

These grounds fall under the purview of the provincial sports directorate and have been frequented by individuals associated with various sports for training purposes. However, on June 10, 2022, the former Director General of Sports, Khalid Khan, designated the ground exclusively for hockey players, prohibiting other sports.   Despite this, football and athletics players have recently resumed using the Civil Quarter Ground for practice, leading to a dispute between the hockey and football players.   The hockey players are not granting time to the football players, maintaining that the ground is solely reserved for hockey. In response, a committee has been formed to address the issue, and its primary objective is to find a resolu

In a statement, the hockey circles highlighted that the majority of the grounds built in the previous regime are of substandard quality, evident from the poor condition of these turfs.   Notably, the recently installed turf at Islamia College Ground in Peshawar, along with the hockey grounds in Charsadda, Kohat, DI Khan, and Bannu, have been subjects of complaint. The hockey circles revealed that both the civil work and the turf installation have been done poorly and incorrectly. For instance, at Islamia College Peshawar, the turf has been laid with nails, causing damage. Similarly, the turf in Abdul Wali Khan Sports

The proposed complex is intended to be built on the land of the Public Health Engineering department, which was previously designated for water recycling purposes. Despite substantial investments made in the project back in 1990, it remained incomplete.   In 2020, DSO Peshawar Anwar Kamal Barki approached the Public Health Engineering Department with a proposal to establish a sports complex on the same land. Consequently, 80 kanals of the area were allocated to the Provincial Sports Directorate. However, the project was put on hold and lacked funding.   Now, after a hiatus of two and a half years, the new Director General Sports, Khalid Mehmood, h

  #PeshawarSportsNews #RustedPipes #MojoSports #ContractorIssues The ongoing reconstruction of the Peshawar Sports Complex is facing a major setback as newly planted trees begin to show signs of rust. Despite the incomplete state of the grounds and the pending installation of the tartan track, the contractor has prematurely concluded the final stages of the project. Initial work involved cutting sturdy iron rods and replacing them with thin pipes. These non-standard, fragile rods have already started rusting due to their poor quality. Moreover, they are unable to withstand the ground's conditions, making them unfit for long-term use. By the time the construction of the grounds is complete, these pipes will likely be completely destroyed. The sports community is calling for immediate action to address this substandard work carried out under the supervision of the sports directorate's engineers. #KikxNow #DigitalCreator #SportsNews #Mojo #Rusted #Pipes #PeshawarSportsNe

Instead, they were directly entrusted to the engineering wing operating under the management of the Provincial Sports Directorate. The engineering wing's primary responsibility is to oversee projects and ensure high-quality work.   According to sources within the Sports Directorate, the establishment of this wing as a monitoring body for sports projects was ordered in 2012 by the former Director General, Khalid Khan. However, some officials who had been seconded to the Sports Directorate from C&W (Communications & Works) began engaging directly with contractors. As a result, several projects within Peshawar city were completed with substandard quality and were not even officially han

     The construction of cricket pitches at the Kohat Sports Complex has officially begun, and we couldn't be more thrilled! This marks a significant development for aspiring cricketers in the area, as the lack of proper pitches previously hindered progress. But now, thanks to the new Director General of Sports, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, things are looking up! In the initial phase of the project, four pitches are currently being prepared, and they offer the perfect training ground for individuals seeking to refine their cricketing skills. But that's not all! The comprehensive project aims to establish 1000 sports facilities across the area, including cricket academies and the appointment of qualified coaches. We're thrilled that progress is underway to provide accessible and well-equipped spaces for cricket enthusiasts! We know that some locations are still awaiting the completion of basic infrastructure, but we're confident that the progress being made is going to make

      The construction work in the mini sports complex located in Hasan Khel area of Peshawar remains unfinished, but dedicated efforts are being made to ensure its completion. Initially, plans were made to include eight to ten sports, such as football, volleyball, badminton, swimming, and table tennis, in the complex. However, spaces for these sports have not been allocated, necessitating additional construction work. Despite these challenges, the authorities have initiated steps to obtain PC4 approval for the project.   Sports circles within the tehsil have confirmed that the construction work in Hasan Khel Mini Sports Complex is still ongoing. In the past, surface grounds were approved during the PTI era as part of the project. However, with the change in government, various departments of the provincial government have recently reached out to secure funding and complete the construction of Hasan Khel. Simultaneously, efforts have commenced to obtain the necessary approvals

    Disturbing revelations have emerged from the Provincial Sports Directorate's headquarters, where officials from various departments are receiving exorbitant salaries, more than double the amount earned by key positions within the directorate. Shockingly, their performance in sports-related matters does not align with expectations.   Sources indicate that certain officers within the attached department's engineering wing received a staggering sum of four lakh rupees in salaries and benefits throughout 2022. This is in stark contrast to officers working up to grade nine in the same department, who earn less than half of that amount. Despite their dedicated efforts in promoting sports within the department, the lack of funds from the provincial government's Ministry of Sports has hampered their progress. Regrettably, deserving U-21 players have been denied approved honors for the past eight months. Moreover, daily wage workers have been waiting for their salaries for

    Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa - Shocking revelations have emerged regarding illegal promotions and appointments of preferred individuals across various locations within the Sports Directorate. The scandal came to light after it was discovered that the Annual Confidential Report (ACR) was not even signed by the relevant officers. Notably, these irregularities occurred during the last three months of the former Director General of Sports' tenure, specifically impacting Arbab Niaz Cricket Stadium.   Despite the restrictions imposed within the provincial sports ministry, unlawful promotions and appointments have been exposed, including the placement of favored individuals in different positions. Alarming reports suggest that the appointed personnel deliberately concealed these actions initially to secure their legality, preventing any potential legal challenges. Sources within the Sports Directorate claim that individuals involved in these promotions have also been elevated in

  #ArbabNiazStadium #FundingIssues   Peshawar, Pakistan - The construction of Arbab Niaz Cricket Stadium, the sole cricket ground in Peshawar city, remains incomplete as funds are unavailable, with anticipated completion by the end of the next fiscal year. Meanwhile, the sports directorate persists in appointing individuals based on personal preference, despite their limited experience in computer skills. These appointments not only involve illegal promotions but also crucial positions within the organization.   Sources indicate that the lack of funds has halted construction activities at Arbab Niaz Cricket Stadium, hindering the completion of the lighting system. The continuous rise in costs adds to the challenge, particularly for the installation of international-quality color lights, currently exclusive to Dubai Stadium. Unfortunately, due to the unavailability of funds, this installation has been put on hold. Meanwhile, the sports directorate proceeds with appointments favo

    Peshawar... In a shocking revelation, it has come to light that the Sports Directorate in Peshawar, along with various districts, has been appointing individuals based on political connections as daily wage workers. Among these appointments, one particularly striking case involves a butcher from Abbottabad who was appointed as a junior clerk in July 2022. Astonishingly, this individual has not yet fulfilled his duties in Peshawar but continues to receive a regular salary, all funded by the Provincial Sports Directorate.   Sources indicate that this recruitment trend stems from political favoritism, with the Sports Directorate employing their own relatives from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. These political appointees, along with their relatives, have secured crucial positions within the Sports Directorate, enabling them to freely distribute public tax money among themselves in the form of salaries.   This blatant misuse of public funds has sparked widespread outrage, as citizens que

  Peshawar - Under-21 players in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have been waiting for over nine months to receive their stipends, which were initiated by the Sports Ministry. Despite instructions to open Bank of Khyber accounts, funds have not been deposited since October 2022. According to sources within the sports department, the province is currently facing a severe financial crisis, making it challenging to disburse the stipend amount, which reaches up to six lakh rupees per month for under-21 students, within the current financial year. However, efforts will be made to allocate the remaining amount to the under-21 players in the following year.   A final decision regarding this matter has not yet been reached. The delay in stipend disbursement has left the under-21 players in a state of uncertainty and financial strain. The sports department acknowledges the importance of these stipends in supporting young athletes, but the prevailing financial circumstances have posed significant obs

  Peshawar - The long-standing issue of funds within the sports department of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has finally been resolved, bringing relief to daily wage employees. After a two-month period of uncertainty and financial strain, these employees are expected to receive their salaries within the next couple of days. The delay in salary disbursement had been causing significant mental stress for both daily wage and monthly employees. Considering the province's financial situation, the finance department had initially been hesitant to allocate funds. However, yesterday, the finance department approved the necessary funds for the sports directorate in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. This development ensures that daily wage employees will soon receive their overdue salaries. Additionally, it is anticipated that salaries will be disbursed to these employees in time for Eid, further enhancing the festive spirit. This resolution underscores the commitment of the sports department to prioritize

In response to complaints of knee and joint pain, the DG Sports Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has taken immediate action, directing the contractor responsible for the court to adhere to the required standards. Failure to comply may lead to the blacklisting of the company, alongside potential fines. Not only has the Tariq Wadud Badminton Hall suffered from the substandard synthetic court, but other venues like the Hayatabad Sports Complex have also faced similar issues. These courts, riddled with bubbles, have become a breeding ground for player injuries, ranging from sprains to chronic joint pain. Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, the DG Sports

  Dear Director General of Sports in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,   I hope this letter finds you well. I have made multiple attempts to meet with you, but unfortunately, I have been unable to do so. It appears that your schedule is quite hectic due to the high number of people seeking your attention. Additionally, I understand that you have requested updates on the ongoing projects in various districts within your department. In light of these circumstances, I feel compelled to share crucial information regarding the Sports Directorate through this correspondence.   I would like to draw your attention to the number of daily wage employees currently working in the Sports Directorate, as well as their length of service. It has come to my attention that the recruitment of employees within the Sports Directorate of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been influenced by personal connections, affiliations with political parties, and nepotism.

    Peshawar ,   On August 14, 2022, Peshawar and Mardan witnessed a thrilling series of sports events, leaving a mixed impact on the participants and spectators. The provincial sports directorate spared no expense, investing one million rupees for a spirited competition in Peshawar, featuring both male and female athletes. Meanwhile, the adrenaline-pumping mixed martial arts tournament in Mardan saw a budget of two million rupees. The events also showcased exciting activities like vintage car displays, tanga races, rickshaw and tanga beauty contests, as well as exhibition matches in table tennis, kabaddi, and football.   The sports events successfully drew the attention of numerous athletes and enthusiastic fans, creating a vibrant atmosphere. However, an Afghan participant's involvement in the mixed martial arts competition held in Mardan raised concerns about eligibility and security protocols for the contestants.

    By Musarrat   Ullah Jan   The recently concluded National Games in Quetta saw Khyber Pakhtunkhwa emerge as the top-performing province, leaving other provinces behind. However, while Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's performance may have been comparatively better, it cannot be regarded as a significant improvement or record-setting achievement. This raises questions about the allocation of funds, recruitment of coaches by the provincial sports directorate, and the number of competitions conducted.   Unfortunately, obtaining a comprehensive account of the funds spent by the previous government's provincial sports directorate on the Ministry of Sports has proven to be a challenge. Bureaucratic hurdles and conflicting policies have hindered transparency and accountability within the department. District Sports Officers (DSOs) working under the Provincial Sports Directorate have expressed frustration, particularly concerning their performance over the last three years. The silence

  Peshawar - Fawad, an international squash player, suffered an injury at the Qamar Zaman Squash Court in the Peshawar Sports Complex. He underwent a private operation after being initially treated at Lady Reading Hospital in Peshawar.   Due to the severity of the injury, a private doctor performed the operation to mend Fawad's fractured left hand at midnight. While recovery is expected to commence, it is anticipated that Fawad will not regain full functionality in his hand for approximately a year.   Sources reveal that Fawad's father, who works in a local workshop, faces significant financial constraints. Consequently, the police have displayed limited interest in the incident.   This tragic event has been condemned as an unsportsmanlike act that jeopardizes the future of athletes. The rigorous training and dedication required to excel in the sport of squash makes this incident particularly disheartening.   The lack of security measures by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Direct

    Peshawar, Pakistan - Daily wage employees of the Sports directorate kpk have been left without salaries for more than two months, causing unrest among officials assigned to demanding roles such as security. The worsening situation has resulted in severe mental stress for many of the affected workers. Unfortunately, the provincial government has failed to release funds to the Ministry of Sports, exacerbating the employees' plight. Despite their dedicated service, these officials, who receive a monthly wage of twenty-five thousand rupees, are enduring significant mental strain. The accounts section has now informed them that they will only receive their salaries, including arrears, after June 17.   Adding to their frustration, certain favored individuals have been granted permanent employment, while those who have served diligently for four to six years have been relegated to daily wage status.

    Peshawar - Disturbing news emerged as international squash player Fawad fell victim to an attack at the Qamar Zaman Squash Complex, resulting in a fracture to his left hand. The incident occurred as Fawad was en route to participate in the highly anticipated International Squash Championship, scheduled to take place in Islamabad from June 2.   According to reports, a junior player, improperly attired in slippers, attempted to enter the squash court. Fawad, recognizing the potential safety hazard, requested the player to remove the slippers. In an unfortunate turn of events, the wiper used for cleaning the court struck Fawad's hand, causing injury. The culprit responsible for the incident swiftly fled the scene, leaving Fawad lying on the ground in pain, unnoticed by anyone present.   Realizing the severity of the situation, security officer and squash coach Muhammad Tahir immediately contacted emergency services at 1122 for prompt medical assistance.

    Peshawar - The administration of Peshawar Sports Complex is under scrutiny following a distressing incident on the squash court, as they displayed a lack of effort in investigating the matter and failed to gather crucial information regarding the attack. Shockingly, no surveillance cameras have been installed near the Qamar Zaman Squash Court, which falls within the jurisdiction of the Sports Directorate.   The absence of these cameras prevents the revelation of accurate footage that could shed light on the incident. Despite the previous announcement by the administrator of Peshawar Sports Complex to install cameras throughout the facility, including the allocated funds, the cameras were inexplicably not installed at the Qamar Zaman Squash Court.   According to the coaches at Qamar Zaman Squash Court, the attacker involved in the incident is a junior player from the PAF Squash Court.

    Peshawar - The Director General of Sports, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Khalid Mehmood, has initiated an inquiry and requested comprehensive information regarding all the projects within the ambit of the 1000 sports facilities project.

However, minimal progress has been made since its inception in 2019, with the completed projects exhibiting substandard quality.   The project's appointed director, currently on deputation, has displayed a lack of commitment towards the project's completion. Moreover, the recruitment process remains incomplete, and the engineers involved are primarily trainees who were entrusted with the construction responsibilities.   Sources reveal that the new Director General of Sports has also demanded a report specifically focusing on the synthetic court built as part of the 1000 sports project.

  PESHAWAR... The sports community has raised concerns over the missing boards from the former wooden court of Tariq Wadud Badminton Hall. Following the establishment of a synthetic court in the hall, the wooden boards were stored in a facility adjacent to the Arena Hall of the Provincial Sports Directorate.     However, they have mysteriously vanished from the storage area. No auctions or alternative uses have been reported for these boards. The estimated value of these boards at the time of removal from the wooden hall of Tariq Wadud Badminton Hall was around Rs. 7 lakhs. The disappearance of these boards raises suspicions and warrants a thorough investigation.   The questionable quality of the synthetic court that replaced the wooden hall adds to the urgency of the matter. The sports community demands that the DG Sports Khyber Pakhtunkhwa initiate an inquiry into the removal of the boards from the Badminton Hall and take appropriate action against those responsible.
