Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate's 'Duplicitous' Policy: Funds for Swimming, but Not for Other Sports

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 promoting sports in the province. Critics say that the directorate is not doing enough to support all sports, and that this is having a negative impact on the development of sport in the province.

Is Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate for Sports Development or Profit?

musarrat ullah jan -
  Musarrat Ullah Jan – Kikxnow , digital Creator The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate is back in the limelight again — this time for the same reasons: bad financial management, discrimination against sportspersons, and no basic facilities. The recent controversy revolves around the Adil Khan Swimming Pool, where the administration has requested money for chlorine from individuals visiting to learn swimming. This request emerged even though the Directorate recently made a profit of Rs. 12 million from this very same swimming pool alone. The question is: if so much money has already been raised, why are the public and athletes being requested to pay for fundamentals such as chlorine? Surprisingly, the revenue of the Hayatabad Sports Complex swimming pool goes unused, but things are no different there. A few days ago, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Swimming Association made an appeal to the Director General of Sports, asking for facilities to train swimmers so they could prepare ...
