Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate Burning Trash, Polluting Air and Hampering Players
The
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate is facing harsh criticism for its
continuous practice of burning waste on the grounds of the complex, leading to
air pollution and creating a nuisance for athletes. Despite complaints, the
directorate has failed to implement a proper waste disposal system.
Instead
of proper waste management, the directorate's financial staff collects garbage
from residential quarters within the complex, including plastic containers,
bottles, used milk cartons, and even discarded water pumps.
This
accumulated waste is then dumped inside the Lala Ayub Hockey Stadium and burned
every Friday, releasing harmful pollutants into the air.
This
practice not only creates environmental hazards but also negatively impacts
hockey players who have to endure the unpleasant smell during training and
matches.
Previous
attempts to address the issue, such as discussions with the Peshawar Cantonment
Board for waste disposal outside the complex, have yielded no concrete results.
