"Costly Badminton Training Machines Left to Deteriorate in Tariq Wadud Badminton Hall and Other Complexes"

    The Badminton training machines purchased for twelve lakh rupees are deteriorating in the Tariq Wadud Badminton Hall. The computerized Badminton machines have been idle and gathering dust for the past four years. The Sports Directorate administration has taken notice. These machines, which cost approximately twelve lakh rupees each, were purchased for seven other divisions, including the Hayatabad Sports Complex, which was under former DG Isfandiar Khattak's leadership. The machines were primarily intended to improve player training. The total cost of purchasing these machines exceeded crores of rupees, and they were sent to complexes in various divisional centers. Since the machines were purchased, there have been no cock feeds available, rendering them unusable. As a result, these computerized badminton machines, worth lakhs of rupees, have been idle in Peshawar Sports Complex, Hayatabad Sports Complex, and other divisional complexes, deteriorating over time. #Spo

Volleyball Players Denied Practice at PSB Peshawar Despite Fees

  Peshawar , The Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) Peshawar Center has come under fire for denying volleyball players access to practice facilities, despite collecting monthly fees. This has been happening for several months, causing frustration among players affiliated with the Provincial Sports Directorate. Previously, players trained at the Provincial Sports Directorate. However, the directorate erected security walls for unidentified reasons. While a separate entrance exists between the directorate and PSB, the PSB Peshawar Center management refuses to allow volleyball players access through it. This effectively shuts them out of practice facilities. Disappointed players have raised concerns about paying fees while being denied access to training grounds. The situation highlights a lack of communication and coordination between the PSB and the Provincial Sports Directorate, ultimately impacting athletes. #VolleyballCrisis #PSBNeglect #VolleyballCrisis
