  Charsadda, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan: Female badminton players and hockey players have been barred from practicing at the Abdul Wali Khan Sports Complex in Charsadda without paying admission fees. This has left many players, who come from poor families, out of practice for over 20 days. The players have appealed to the Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the caretaker Chief Minister to take notice of the situation. They argue that the District Sports Officer (DSO) Imran Khan, who is also the Sports Director in Peshawar, is neglecting his duties in Charsadda and wasting their energy and talent by preventing them from practicing. Khan has been absent from office for the past two months, and local officials claim that they are acting on his orders to ban female players without admission fees and to prevent anyone from training at the complex. However, Khan's absence from office and his lack of communication with local officials has raised questions about his commitment to his ...

    The Sports Directorate of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is urging players in the merged districts to bring in more income despite the lack of facilities and coaches in these areas. Officials associated with the merged districts said on condition of anonymity that first the sports directorate will provide facilities and then the players will go to the game. They will come to the merged districts, otherwise no one can bring them to the sports field.   Players in the merged districts are facing a number of challenges, including a lack of facilities in sports stadiums and a shortage of coaches.

Even the younger youths who play sports in these areas are st...

    Pakistan's wheelchair cricket team recently won the Asia Cup in Kathmandu, Nepal, despite facing a lack of support from the government. These special players, who often face discrimination and neglect, have raised the nation's head with their achievement.   However, while ordinary players who achieve such feats are often rewarded with cash prizes, cars, and plots, the wheelchair cricket team has not received any such recognition. They also lack access to basic equipment, such as specialized wheelchairs.   This stepmotherly treatment of para-athletes is a sign that there is no justice for people with disabilities in Pakistan. We urge the everyone to raise their voices for the rights of these special players. #PakistanWheelchairCricket #AsiaCup #DisabilitySports #SportsForAll #JusticeForParaAthletes

    The District Sports Office (DSO) Peshawar is considering proposals to install electricity check meters in the houses of employees residing in the grounds of Shah Tahmas Football Stadium. This includes employees from DSO Chitral. The aim of this is to enable employees to monitor their electricity consumption and make payments themselves.   The move comes after a recent raid on the premises revealed high electricity bills. The DSO is now looking to ensure that employees are only paying for the electricity they use.   In addition to installing electricity meters, the DSO is also considering providing gas connections for domestic use. This would be done by using funds from the Deputy Commissioner Peshawar.   However, it is unclear how gas connections would be installed given the ban on new connections. Additionally, there is no gas connection in the Provincial Sports Directorate, so it is unclear why a gas connection would be needed at the DSO. ...

    The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa swimming team sent by the Provincial Sports Directorate has been barred from participating in the Pakistan Swimming Federation competitions due to the non-election of a provincial sports body.   The team was sent to Lahore to participate in the recent competitions, but was stopped from competing by the federation. The federation said that the team could not participate because there was no elected provincial sports body in place.   The trials for the team were conducted by employees of the Provincial Sports Directorate. However, the federation said that this was not enough, and that a properly elected body was needed to ensure the legitimacy of the team.   The team has now returned to Peshawar. The Provincial Sports Directorate has said that it is working to resolve the issue and that it hopes to have a team participating in future competitions.   Hashtags: #kikxnow #digitalcreator #sportsnews #mojo #mojosports #...

    The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate has been criticized for its "duplicitous" policy of providing funds for swimming competitions, but not for other sports.   The criticism came after the directorate announced that it would be providing 200000 to the team going for swimming competitions. However, when approached for funds for other sports, such as archery, badminton, and table tennis, the directorate said that it did not have the funds available.   This has led to accusations that the directorate is favoring swimming over other sports. Critics say that this is unfair to athletes in other sports, who are being denied the opportunity to compete at a high level.   The directorate has defended its policy, saying that swimming is a priority sport for the province. However, critics say that this does not excuse the lack of funding for other sports.   The controversy has sparked a debate about the role of the sports directorate in promo...

    A raid on the houses of District Sports Officer (DSO) and Regional Sports Officer (RSO) Peshawar employees has confirmed a journalist's report from April 2023 alleging illegal use of electricity in Shah Tahmas Football Stadium.   In April 2023, the DSO Peshawar filed a complaint against the journalist in Faqirabad police station for publishing the report.

The DSO and RSO Peshawar have now acknowledged the issue.   The Sports Directorate Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been accused of refusing to hire sports coaches due to a financial crisis, while at the same time paying the electricity bills of employees living in government quarters. Many of these houses are not equipped with meters, allowing residents to use electricity freely.   The illegal ...

    Residential quarters have been built within the 50-meter buffer zone of the only football ground in Peshawar city, in violation of international regulations.   According to experts, the construction of residential quarters within the buffer zone is illegal and impedes the hosting of national-level competitions.   The experts had earlier informed the administration of the Provincial Sports Directorate about the illegality of the residential quarters, but no action was taken.   The construction of residential quarters within the buffer zone is a violation of international standards, which require a buffer zone of at least 50 meters between football grounds and residential areas.   The buffer zone is necessary to mitigate noise and other disturbances from football matches.   The experts have urged the authorities to take action to remove the residential quarters from the buffer zone.   Hashtags: #kikxnow #footballground ...

    The Provincial Sports Directorate has kept silent on the matter of the missing engine of the vehicle made for special athletes and has issued instructions to the driver that he will get a lump sum of three months' salary, but he does not need to talk to anyone in this matter. The driver has been threatened in this regard, which is why he refuses to talk.   The provincial sports directorate has started an investigation regarding the engine change of the vehicle made for special athletes parked in the parking lot and also stopped the salary of a driver. He was questioned several times as to how he changed the engine of the vehicle, but the driver denied it and his position was that his duty was not with the concerned vehicle, therefore he did not know about it.   In this case, information should be taken from the former and current administrator of the sports directorate and the records of all the cameras should also be checked. However, now the administr...

    Special athletes associated with various sports in the sports directorate have raised objections to the departure of special athletes from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for various competitions in China. They have alleged that the Paralympic Association did not select the athletes for these games through trials and sent unselected athletes to China for special competitions. They have called this a cruel and abusive move.   The special players have alleged that, like other sports of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, there is a series of cruelty and abuse of special players, which is a regrettable move. According to them, there are some players who call themselves coaches sometimes and become players and participate in competitions other times.   According to these special players associated with different sports, the trials of the players for the special games in China were not taken and all this was done secretly. According to them, no one knows when the National Paralympics we...

      A contractor visited the Lala Ayub Hockey Stadium in Peshawar yesterday to fix the damaged sprinklers, which had been identified three days ago. One sprinkler was not working properly and the auto system of another sprinkler was damaged, causing only eight out of ten sprinklers to be functional.   The contractor visited the stadium yesterday to fix the sprinklers. The technician of the Provincial Sports Directorate took out the gurney of one fountain, but the auto system of the other fountain has not been fixed yet.   The Pakistan Sports Board constructed a new turf and installed fountains at the Lala Ayub Hockey Stadium in Peshawar within a year through a Canadian-born contractor.   #kikxnow #digitalcreator #sports #ppc #peshawar #LalaAyubHockeyStadium #Peshawar #Contractor #Sprinklers #Fixed

    A large part of the roof of the stand/audience section in Peshawar's Lala Ayub Hockey Stadium has collapsed. The roof of the section named after Olympian Qazi Waheed, which was made of tin sheets, is also gradually disappearing. It is not clear where the part of the roof that collapsed has disappeared.   The provincial sports directorate has yet to report on the condition of the stadium, even though the Pakistan Sports Board Islamabad recently installed new turf, new goal posts, jungles, and fountains.   The fact that grass is also growing on the turf, which is not being cut, suggests that the stadium is not being properly maintained.   This is a matter of serious concern, as the Lala Ayub Hockey Stadium is one of the most important hockey stadiums in Pakistan. It has hosted numerous international matches, including the 1982 Men's Hockey World Cup.   The provincial sports directorate must immediately take action to repair the damaged roof and to ensure ...

    The District Sports Office Peshawar has issued instructions to the administration to charge a monthly fee of Rs. 500 from football players. All players who are coming to the ground for football will be required to pay the fee, otherwise they will not be allowed to enter. Most of the football players who come to the ground are students from different schools. They are worried about the increase in fees, as they cannot afford to pay Rs. 500 per month, especially since there is no coach to train them. A large number of players are now in contact with each other to leave the ground due to the increased fees. #Sports #Peshawar #Football #Fee #kikxnow #digitalcreator #sportsnews #qasaban #qasaba
