Adil Khan Swimming Pool in Peshawar Raises Concerns Over Water Quality and Athlete Training
PESHAWAR - Questions are being raised regarding the hygiene and management of the Adil Khan Swimming Pool located within the Peshawar Sports Complex. Sources within the sports directorate allege that the pool's water hasn't undergone a thorough cleaning for over three weeks, raising concerns about potential health risks for swimmers.
Despite a recent extension of operational hours from 9 am to 9 pm, including Sundays, the pool's cleaning routine appears to have been neglected. While chlorine is reportedly being added daily, a comprehensive cleaning with appropriate chemicals is said to be overdue.
The lack of proper cleaning and the absence of mandatory medical certificates for swimmers have sparked worries about hygiene standards. The recent rise in scabies cases in Peshawar further amplifies public anxieties.
The recent decision by the provincial sports directorate to designate training hours for athletes from 8 pm to 10 pm has also drawn criticism. This schedule reportedly clashes with school timings and delays the essential cleaning process.
Athletes, particularly students, are reportedly facing difficulties attending training sessions due to the new schedule. This issue comes amidst concerns about swimmer safety, especially following a recent drowning incident at the same pool.
The situation at the Adil Khan Swimming Pool necessitates immediate action from the authorities. Prioritizing thorough cleaning procedures and ensuring proper hygiene standards must be paramount. Additionally, a review of the designated training schedule to accommodate both athlete needs and cleaning requirements is recommended.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa CM's Award Stirs Controversy: One Player Honored, Teammate Overlooked
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.

Archery Target Repeatedly Vandalized at Provincial Sports Directorate in Peshawar
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 complex are malfunctioning. These cameras, reportedly installed six months ago upon request from Gulberg Police Station for security reasons, are said to be of substandard quality. Some sources speculate that this might be a ploy to justify purchasing new cameras.
This repeated vandalism highlights the need for stricter security measures and proper maintenance of equipment at the Provincial Sports Directorate.

Lala Ayub Hockey Stadium Goal Posts in Disrepair Despite Recent PSB Construction
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.

Unpaid Coaches and Daily Wagers in Limbo as New Fiscal Year Approaches in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
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 strict secrecy. The remaining employees were told to expect salaries after Eid-ul-Fitr, which haven't arrived.
Sources within the Sports Directorate suggest the PC1 approval might benefit coaches and daily wage employees in the next financial year (2024-25). However, this leaves them in a precarious situation for the current year.

Driver Discrepancies Plague Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate
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 is necessary to determine the extent of these practices and ensure proper resource allocation within the Sports Directorate.

Lala Ayub Hockey Stadium in Peshawar: Substandard Construction Crumbles After One Year
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 crore. Yet, due to substandard construction, the facility is already deteriorating. The silence from the PSB and the Provincial Sports Directorate raises serious questions about accountability and mismanagement.
This situation demands immediate action. A thorough investigation is needed to identify those responsible for the substandard construction. Public funds cannot be wasted with impunity. The stadium needs repairs to ensure it can be used by athletes for years to come.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Under-23 Sports Competitions Face Funding Hurdles
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.

KP U-23 Games Under Fire: Transparency and Selection Process Scrutinized
Peshawar, Pakistan - The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate's plan to organize U-23 regional sports competitions has come under fire from various sports associations in the province. These associations have raised concerns about transparency, selection processes, and the overall focus of the event.
The primary criticism centers on a perceived lack of transparency. Associations claim they were not consulted in the planning stages and are unaware of the criteria used to select the specific sports included in the competitions. They question whether these choices align with Olympic standards or represent arbitrary decisions.
Concerns have also been raised regarding the potential favoritism towards established athletes. Associations suspect these competitions might benefit players who have participated in previous events, hindering the development of new talent.
Some associations allege that previous sporting events conducted by the Directorate involved external contractors and potential financial irregularities. They claim millions of rupees allocated for sports development may have been misappropriated.
The associations believe the Directorate should prioritize promoting sports at the nursery level, where a strong foundation for future athletes can be built. Focusing solely on U-23 competitions, they argue, neglects this crucial stage of development.
Adding to the confusion, the secretary of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Olympic Association reportedly found his name included in the list of organizing committee members. However, he claims to have no knowledge of his involvement or being consulted regarding the selection of sports.
These accusations cast a shadow over the upcoming U-23 games. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Directorate must address these concerns and ensure transparency in future endeavors. Increased collaboration with sports associations is crucial to ensure that such events genuinely promote and develop sporting talent in the province.
