"Leave it, this is Pakistan": Sports Directorate Mired in Inaction, Corruption, and Shame

Pakistan's sports scene faces a bleak future as the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate grapples with rampant apathy, corruption, and illegal practices. This scathing exposé by employees details a system plagued by:

Unfilled Positions: Vacant posts remain unfilled for eight months, leaving crucial tasks unattended.

Unpaid Wages: Daily wage workers endure four-month delays in salaries, met with dismissive remarks like "Leave it, this is Pakistan."

Illegal Hostel Occupancy: Outsiders illegally reside in hostels, racking up unpaid dues in the millions.

Electricity Theft: The directorate shamelessly steals electricity, ignoring concerns with the same excuse.

Employee Misconduct: Government employees moonlight for other departments, drawing further criticism and the same apathetic response.

Embezzlement of Funds: Officials allegedly misappropriate Class IV employee wages, again brushing off concerns with the usual retort.

Missing Equipment: Boxing equipment vanishes from the Hayatabad Sports Complex, eliciting only indifference.

Unofficial Residences: Employees construct an illegal housing complex on government property, facing no repercussions.

Substandard Work: Concerns about substandard construction at the hockey stadium are met with the dismissive phrase.

Mistreatment of Athletes: Athletes face mistreatment from the directorate, with complaints falling on deaf ears.

Fake Training: Squash and cricket coaches reportedly use one-on-one sessions for personal gain, receiving the usual apathetic response.

Illegal Recruitment: Allegations of illegal recruitment are met with the now-infamous excuse, highlighting a broken system.

Exploitative Practices: Sports kits are allegedly sold at inflated prices, and athletes are charged for using equipment at the cricket academy, with concerns dismissed as expected.

The repeated dismissal of legitimate concerns with "Leave it, this is Pakistan" reflects a deeply ingrained culture of apathy and acceptance of corruption within the Sports Directorate. This approach cripples progress, hinders athlete development, and ultimately damages the future of sports in the region.

Immediate action is required to address these issues. The government must investigate the allegations, hold perpetrators accountable, and implement stricter transparency and accountability measures. Only then can the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate regain its dignity and fulfill its vital role in fostering Pakistan's sporting talent.

musarrat ullah jan -
  Constituencies associated with sports appealed to the caretaker chief minister including Governor Ghulam Ali to take notice. PESHAWAR ... The circles related to sports have demanded an inquiry into the various contracts given in the sports sector during the PTI regime and have said that a transparent inquiry should be made into all the contracts given by the Provincial Sports Directorate of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Similarly, the contracts given for the purchase of sports equipment, including the hockey grounds built in the 1000 sports facilities project, including the squash courts built in various colleges, should also be checked so that not only the element of transparency is brought out, they also made the contract in the form of color. Action should also be taken against the contractor because most of the projects taken only for their own benefit have become non-standard which the previous political rulers did not pay attention to. Due to this reason, the officials of sports di
