The exciting sports activity in Bannu Division has come to a complete standstill, with sportsmen and local clubs anxious over the development. The stagnation is due to the inability to fill the post of the outgoing Regional Sports Officer (RSO).

The drama started with the Director General Sports for the Sports Department of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa transferring the RSO Bannu. Surprisingly, the transferred officer still has not joined their new assignment, leaving an administrative vacuum. This questions the DG Sports' capability to implement their own official directions.

Local sporting communities are raising alarms, adding that this is not the first administrative hammer. The District Sports Officer (DSO) position was previously abolished in Bannu, and now that the RSO has been sent away and not replaced, no authorized official remains to oversee local sporting matters. All sports activities at the district level have thus been suspended.

What is most infuriating to residents, however, is the irony: the incumbent Chief Secretary Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the new Provincial Sports Minister are both from Bannu. Regardless of this local provenance, the pathetic state of sports administration in the division is being deliberately overlooked.

Local sportsmen and sportswomen are now impatiently calling upon the government. They are calling for the immediate posting of an RSO for Bannu and settlement of the internal administrative impasse in the Sports Department, so that the long-awaited sporting activities in Bannu can finally be restarted.

  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 sport...
