Clash of Clubs: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Civil Quarter Ground Becomes Battleground for Sports Supremacy
What
was once a haven for sports enthusiasts in Peshawar's Civil Quarter Ground has
devolved into a contentious battleground, pitting football and hockey players
against each other, and leaving residents fuming over disrupted access.
Source of the Skirmish:
Scheduling Squabbles: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Sports Directorate, aiming to appease all sides, allocated separate days for
each sport. However, this solution backfired, with footballers fuming over
limited practice time (3 days/week) impacting their performance.
Hockey Hiatus: Adding fuel to the fire, a
bitter dispute between two hockey clubs has plunged the ground into silence for
over a month, denying residents their daily dose of sporting action.
Ground Zero of the Conflict:
Shared Space, Divided
Passions:
The Civil Quarter Ground's history speaks volumes about the current conflict.
Initially, it housed separate grounds for football and hockey, catering to each
sport's dedicated fanbase. However, time and the evolving needs of the community
led to the merging of these spaces, unintentionally setting the stage for
clashes over limited resources and scheduling conflicts.
Impact on the Community:
Recreation Denied: The residents of Peshawar,
who relied on the Civil Quarter Ground for their daily dose of sports and
community interaction, are now left bearing the brunt of these disputes. With
limited access to the facility, their recreational activities and sense of
community spirit are taking a hit.
