Green Gone Gray: Peshawar Sports Complex Loses Luster After Pavilion Renovation
The
once vibrant Peshawar Sports Complex, a hub for sporting activities and a haven
for greenery, has lost its charm following the installation of new shades on
the pavilion. Several concerning issues have come to light:
The
lush lawn surrounding the football ground has been completely destroyed during
the construction process. Excavations for the iron railings and shade
installation left the area barren.
In
a bizarre move, unsuitable trees were planted in the area, highlighting a lack
of planning and expertise. Thankfully, these were identified and removed, but
no effort has been made to replace them with appropriate greenery.
Despite
significant funds being allocated, the damaged lawn remains neglected. Piles of
dirt mar the landscape, creating an unsightly and unusable space.
With
spring in full bloom, the absence of action by the sports directorate raises
concerns about their commitment to maintaining the complex's aesthetics and
functionality.
This
situation raises several questions:
Were
proper environmental assessments conducted before construction? Was the public
informed about the potential impact on the lawn?
Where
did the allocated funds go, and why is the damaged lawn not being repaired?
Why
were unsuitable trees planted? What steps are being taken to ensure such
mistakes are not repeated?
Does
the sports directorate have a plan for long-term maintenance and improvement of
the complex's green spaces?
The
Peshawar Sports Complex deserves better. The concerned authorities must take
immediate action to address these issues, restore the lost greenery, and ensure
the complex lives up to its potential as a vibrant center for sports and
recreation.
