Syed Zahir Shah believes that PSB hostels need upgraded facilities.
The Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) seems to intend to provide
adequate facilities for the players. But recent trends raise a serious failure
in that matter. The state has offered a hostel for lodging to Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa players participating in the junior hockey championship whose beds,
Syed Zahir Shah, President of the provincial hockey association, quoted, were
dirty and cockroach-infested.
Newly appointed DG Sports Yasir Pirzada is requested to
personally visit the hostels so that he himself can assess the conditions prevailing
at these places, hazardous to the health of the players on account of
unsanitary conditions. Shah claims that upon a first-hand visit, deplorable
conditions prevailing at the place will be satisfactorily exposed.
He pointed out that, no doubt, there are several
directorates in PSB; however, it is not known what work is being done and to
what extent one is being charged for maintenance, keeping in view the fact that
they could not provide any facility properly. He was disappointed because DGPS
Islamabad does not fulfill its core responsibility of supporting the athletes.
To fully make provisions for players, Shah emphasized on the
pressing needs for resource management improvement, such as maintenance and
salaries.
