Serving Up Comfort: DG Sports Haider Transforms Qamar Zaman Squash Complex

 

The scorching Peshawar summer had always been the unseen opponent at the Qamar Zaman Squash Complex. Players, their faces slick with sweat, battled not just their rivals but also the oppressive heat radiating from every corner of the court. The old air conditioning units, perched high and useless, only served as a grim reminder of the discomfort. Complaints echoed through the complex like a missed serve, but for too long, they seemed to fall on deaf ears.

Then came the day Tashfeen Haider, the Director General Sports Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, stepped onto the sun-baked courts. He listened intently as athletes and coaches, their voices laced with frustration, detailed the unbearable conditions: inefficient AC placement, poor ventilation, and a general lack of upkeep. Tashfeen Haider didn't just listen; he acted. Immediate instructions were given to the administrator, a clear mandate for change.

Weeks later, the air at the Qamar Zaman Squash Complex felt different. A gentle hum replaced the labored wheeze of the old units, and a wave of cool, refreshing air washed over the courts. On his follow-up visit, DG Sports Haider saw the tangible results of his intervention. The AC units, once awkwardly positioned, were now strategically relocated, blowing cool air exactly where it was needed. Players moved with a renewed vigor, their training unburdened by the relentless heat. Coaches, their brows no longer perpetually furrowed in discomfort, beamed with satisfaction. They confirmed what was already evident: the upgraded system was a game-changer.

Tashfeen Haider’s commitment didn't stop there. He toured other squash courts, acknowledging the lingering issues of humidity and heat. He received assurances that similar improvements were on the horizon, promising uniform comfort across the entire complex. "Focus on your game," he encouraged the players, "the department will continue to support you."

As he concluded his visit, briefed on the ongoing landscaping and turf improvements in the ground area, Tashfeen Haider knew this was more than just an AC upgrade. It was a testament to the power of listening, of acting decisively, and of prioritizing the well-being of athletes. The Qamar Zaman Squash Complex, once a symbol of struggle against the elements, was now a beacon of comfort and dedication, all thanks to a DG who truly understood the meaning of player welfare.
