KARACHI: A prominent businessman of Karachi has said that the front wall of PSB-owned national coaching centre would be built as soon as possible and the multipurpose sports complex at the centre would also be operational after some minor development work is done.
Aqeel Karim Dhedhi, who is a member of PSB's 11-member executive committee, retuned home a couple of days ago from Islamabad after attending a meeting of PSB, where he raised the issues related to the PSB-owned coaching centre in Karachi.
He said that the PSB’s coaching centre is the best place for organising sports competitions in various disciplines.
He said that the condition of the centre was not very good, especially after last month's devastating rains. The 100-feet wall of the centre has been broken.
Dhedhi said that he has informed the PSB high officials about the condition of the centre.
He further said that he would not totally rely on government’s functionaries as far as the sports development and promotion is concerned but after all PSB’s role would also be important and development and construction work is the responsibility of the government.
Dhedhi said that he wanted to organise athletic events before the national junior athletics championship, which is expected next month, so that the emerging athletes could polish their skills before the championship.
He said that private sector was ready to work for the promotion of sports and organising sports events for youngsters of the city. "We are planning to organise some sports events in the city in near future," he added.
