    Pakistani hockey player Sufyan from Bannu received a two million rupee award from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister for his performance in the recent Azlan Shah Hockey Championship. However, the decision has sparked controversy as his teammate, Zakaria Hayat from Mardan, who also hails from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and played a key role in the same championship, was not awarded anything. Sports circles have expressed concern about this alleged favoritism, highlighting the importance of the Provincial Sports Directorate providing the Chief Minister with complete information on all players representing the province in the national team. This, they believe, would ensure fair recognition and prevent discrimination. While acknowledging the Chief Minister's support for hockey players, critics point out the disheartening exclusion of Zakaria Hayat. They urge the Chief Minister to address this issue and ensure equal recognition for all deserving players.   #KPKHockeyAward #KPKH

  Despite Cameras and Security, Unknown Individuals Break Target for the Fifth Time   Peshawar ,   Unknown individuals have vandalized the archery target located at the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Provincial Sports Directorate in Peshawar for the fifth time. This act of vandalism raises concerns about security measures at the sports complex, especially considering the presence of cameras and security personnel. Archery players arrived for training yesterday to discover the broken target. They reported the incident to the Peshawar Sports Complex administrator, Jafar Shah. This is the fifth time the target has been broken, causing financial losses of Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 20,000 each time. Sara Khan, Secretary of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Archery Association, expressed disappointment. She revealed that previous instructions to install barbed wire around the target area, issued by both the association and the Directorate General, were not implemented. Sources allege that most cameras at the com

  Peshawar's iconic Lala Ayub Hockey Stadium is plagued by issues once again. Just a year after its reconstruction by the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) Islamabad at a cost exceeding twelve crore rupees, the wooden goal posts are already in a state of disrepair. This rapid deterioration raises serious concerns about the construction quality.   The PSB's Deputy Director, Shahid Islam, had visited Peshawar to address these concerns, but there have been no further updates or actions taken. The state of the stadium is a slap in the face to Peshawar's passionate hockey community and hinders the development of the sport in the region.   #FixLalaAyubStadium #PSBAccountability #SupportPeshawarHockey   Let's hold the PSB accountable and ensure our sporting infrastructure is built to last!  

  Unresolved Salary Issue for Coaches and Daily Wagers at Provincial Sports Directorate   Hundreds of coaches and daily wage employees who were laid off by the Provincial Sports Directorate a year ago remain in limbo as the new fiscal year approaches. Despite promises from the Chief Minister and approval of a new project (PC1), they haven't received their outstanding salaries or guarantees of future employment.   Hundreds of coaches and daily wage employees were dismissed in June 2023. The Chief Minister kp announced salary disbursement in June 2023, but it hasn't materialized. PC1 approval for the new fiscal year offers hope, but its impact might be felt only in 2024-25. Many employees haven't received salaries for months, causing hardships. Uncertain Future for Affected Staff The situation has caused mental stress for the coaches, while daily wage employees face financial difficulties. Some employees received partial payments before Ramadan, but under st

    Peshawar ,   In a thrilling showcase of skill and determination, the Peshawar hockey team emerged victorious at the Inter-District Hockey Tournament held at the Lala Ayub Hockey Stadium. Peshawar clinched the championship trophy with a resounding win against FATA, dominating the scoreboard with an impressive nine goals! Leading the charge, Samir scored four goals, while Umar and Salman each added two more. Salim contributed one goal to Peshawar's total. FATA's Samiullah and Shehzad managed to score one goal each in a valiant but ultimately unsuccessful effort. Ex IGP and Chairman of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Hockey Association, Saeed Khan, attended as the Chief Guest, along with other Provincial Hockey Association officials, interacting with the teams and celebrating the players' achievements. Muhammad Waqas served as the tournament director, with Qaiser Wadud and Farman officiating the match. The winners and runners-up received trophies and medals, while the Chars

    A recently released seniority list for drivers in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate exposes concerning irregularities. While Muhammad Ilyas leads the list with 38 total drivers, only nine are assigned to the DG Sports office. Driver Shortage: The Directorate appears to face a significant driver shortage, with some positions filled by non-drivers like gardeners (Malis) and Class IV employees. Personal Driver Usage: Some officers reportedly employ personal drivers whose salaries are paid by the government, raising concerns about resource misuse. Salary Discrepancies: The report suggests drivers working for officers in other departments receive salaries from the Sports Directorate, potentially indicating payroll irregularities. These findings raise serious questions about transparency and accountability within the Directorate. The shortage of qualified drivers and the alleged use of government funds for personal drivers suggest mismanagement. Further investigation

    Peshawar's iconic Lala Ayub Hockey Stadium is facing a major crisis. Just one year after its completion, reports of substandard construction are coming to light. The playing surface is uneven, water fountains are malfunctioning, and even the wooden goalposts are damaged. Despite these issues, the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) and the Provincial Sports Directorate remain silent on the matter. Even during construction, concerns were raised about the project. Ms. Rasheed Ghaznavi, the former director of the provincial sports directorate, flagged the non-standard construction materials. However, her warnings were overlooked. The contract was awarded to a Canadian-born doctor who completed the project in record time – one year instead of the planned six months. However, speed came at the cost of quality. The provincial hockey association pointed out the uneven turf and substandard goalpost nets. The Lala Ayub Hockey Stadium was built with public money, a staggering Rs 12 cro

  Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province is gearing up to host under-23 sports competitions in the last week of May. However, the initiative faces a major hurdle: lack of funding. The provincial sports directorate has allocated a mere one lakh rupees (approximately $600 USD) for trials across twenty games, with only five thousand rupees allocated per game. This meager allocation raises concerns about the feasibility of conducting proper trials. Some sports associations have expressed difficulty covering expenses on their own, especially considering the directorate hasn't provided grants or aid for the past three years. The situation is further complicated by the silence of some district sports officers on the issue. These competitions hold significance as they mark the return of sporting events at the under-23 level after a hiatus of over two decades. The initiative is being held under the directive of the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.   #KPKUnder23Games #Spor

    Unknown individuals uploaded sexual images and internal data of the Provincial Sports Directorate to the website kikxnow.com. The website also contained information about important personnel in various sports facilities. Journalist Musratullah Jan, who is trained in mobile journalism, discovered his photos and data on the website. He, along with the Sports Directorate, filed a complaint with the FIA Cybercrimes department. The Peshawar Press Club is also investigating the matter. Sources from the Sports Directorate believe insiders are involved as the leaked data was only accessible to a select few. The website has since been taken down. Sports Directorate officials suspect the website was hacked, but some believe insiders uploaded the data due to their access to the internet and the Directorate's website. The FIA is investigating to identify the culprit who purchased the domain and uploaded the data. Additionally, the Sports Directorate is looking into previous Right
