Contractor Faces Rs. 5 Million Fine for Delayed 3D Squash Court Project
Peshawar, Pakistan – A highly anticipated 3D squash court
project at Hayatabad Sports Complex, a posh neighborhood in Peshawar, has been
plagued by significant delays. Despite a March 2021 contract valued at Rs.
99.40 million and an 18-month completion deadline, the project remains
unfinished over three years later.
Sources within the Sports Directorate reveal that the
contractor had agreed to a Rs. 5 million penalty if the court wasn't
operational by September 2023. According to the contract terms, a 10% financial
penalty was to be levied for each month of delay. However, despite overshooting
the deadline by more than a year, no action has been taken to impose the fine.
Intriguingly, a payment of Rs. 62,830,000 was made on June
23, 2022, based on "unscheduled items," as indicated by check number
060389.
The delayed project has sparked concerns among sports
enthusiasts and the public, who have questioned the lack of accountability and
transparency in the execution of this high-profile sports facility.
