Abbottabad District Sports Office: Staffing Crisis and Unfilled Positions Hindering Services

musarrat ullah jan -

 

The Abbottabad District Sports Office (DSO) is currently facing a significant staffing shortage that is affecting its operations and the services it provides to local athletes and communities. Despite having key staff members in place, several important positions remain vacant, which may cause delays in addressing critical sports-related issues in the region.

The current staffing situation reveals that while some key roles are filled, there are still crucial positions that remain unfilled. These vacant positions are in essential areas such as Junior Coaches, Assistant, Groundman, and Watcher. Here’s a closer look at the staffing details:

The office has a number of officers and staff, including the District Sports Officer (Junaid Rehman Waheed), Senior Clerk (Yasir Khan), Junior Clerk (Amir Shahzad), and various support staff such as Chowkidars, Sweepers, and Malis.

Positions like the Computer Operator, Junior Coaches, and Tube Well Operators are filled, ensuring that basic tasks like office work and ground maintenance continue.

Assistant (16): This important administrative role remains vacant, which could be crucial in supporting the daily functioning of the office and managing the increasing workload.

Junior Coach (10): At least one Junior Coach position remains unfilled, which significantly affects the training and development of young athletes, particularly in a district with limited resources and facilities.

Groundman (03) and Watcher (03): These positions, essential for the maintenance and security of sports grounds, are also unfilled, leading to potential deterioration of sports facilities and security concerns.

The lack of staff in these key roles not only delays administrative work but also hampers the delivery of sports services. The district’s youth, who rely heavily on sports for personal development and community identity, are left underserved. With critical positions vacant, the development of local sports may suffer long-term negative effects.

Impact on Local Sports and Youth: The unfilled positions raise questions about the efficiency of Abbottabad DSO’s sports management approach. The district's youth, who could greatly benefit from proper training and facilities, are now deprived of essential services. Without adequate staffing, sports programs are likely to be affected, leading to a decline in athlete performance and community involvement in sports.

Additionally, the absence of a Junior Coach may lead to fewer youth training programs, while the unfilled Groundman and Watcher positions may result in the deterioration of local sports infrastructure and increased security concerns.

Immediate Action Needed: Immediate steps must be taken to fill the vacant positions at Abbottabad’s District Sports Office. By properly staffing these roles, the DSO can operate efficiently, enhance local sports development, and provide better services to the community.

The provincial government and relevant authorities should prioritize filling these vacancies to safeguard the future of sports in Abbottabad and ensure that local athletes receive the support and resources they need to succeed.

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.
