Head of a Hazara Sports Committee Naimat Mazhar, who is heading a protest, suggested that a locals had been regulating a stadium for 3 decades and provincial public member Syed Muhammad Raza had betrothed to urge a facilities.
However, when a bulldozers came to announce a housing intrigue instead of a ‘world-class sporting facility’, as betrothed by Raza, everybody in a village was taken by surprise.
“It is really treacherous for us; no one in a final 30 years ever came to explain this square of land. In fact in 2010 a member of a provincial public had betrothed to distribute Rs40 million for a growth of a world-class sporting facility, though that didn’t happen. Now all of a remarkable some builder comes along though any explanation of tenure and only digs adult a whole place. We have been protesting for dual weeks now though to no avail,” pronounced Mazhar.

“We have really gifted footballers, they even use on this belligerent notwithstanding all a digging; they are ardent and they would go out to Ayub Stadium or Hazara Stadium too, though we all know they competence not lapse alive if they try to go there regularly,” pronounced Mazhar.
He pronounced that a protests will continue compartment a supervision of Balochistan creates a final preference over a matter. “We’ll lay during a site and play notwithstanding a construction work and we are perplexing to speak to a Balochistan Chief Minister Sanaullah Zehri. So distant all a efforts have been in vain as all a officials give us a sense that they can’t do anything about it; a supervision should assistance us with this during least,” pronounced Mazhar.
