U-21 Players Demand Overdue Scholarships, Urge Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ministry of Sports to Act
In a recent development, players who were denied their U-21
scholarships are now demanding swift action from the Ministry of Sports in
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Expressing their grievances, the players have called upon
the provincial sports directorate to address the matter urgently and distribute
the prizes promised over the past one and a half years to those who excelled in
their respective sports.
For an extended period, athletes engaged in various sports,
who diligently created accounts in the provincial bank as per the sports
directorate's request, are growing increasingly frustrated. They emphasize that
athletes achieving top positions in provincial sports competitions were
initially promised individual monthly scholarships. Although the winning teams
were initially slated to receive 100,000 rupees, this fund allocation
inexplicably ceased, leaving players in limbo.
The provincial sports directorate, adhering to a policy of
silence on the matter, is facing accusations of neglecting the athletes'
rightful claims. This inaction, deemed as a disservice to the players, has
sparked discontent among the sports community. Many players, previously
enrolled in colleges under the assurance of these scholarships, are now grappling
with the sudden absence of financial support.
Expressing concern, the players have called upon the provincial government to promptly release the long-overdue scholarships as initially promised. They argue that this step is crucial for enabling athletes from various sports to concentrate on honing their skills without the financial uncertainties hanging over their education. The call for justice in the form of scholarship disbursement is resonating among the under-21 players, urging authorities to rectify the situation and uphold their commitment to the development of sports in the region.
