Sports Killa Saifullah
Introduction
Football and cricket are played in schools and colleges of Killa Saifullah district. On Eid festivals neza bazi (javelin throw) and ghéz (wrestling) competitions are organised among men. Girls are prohibited to play field games although facilities are available to them for playing basket ball and other track games in the schools. The National Bank of Pakistan has constructed a recreational park exclusively for ladies and children in Killa Saifullah offering many playing gadgets but it is rarely visited by women.
GO/NGO/Private Enterprise, etc. involvement in Sports Development
The government has an important role in the promotion of recreational activities but rarely attention is diverted to this direction. The government has provided playgrounds in educational institutions but there is an intense need for maintenance of these play fields and encouragement of talented players. The exemplary action of the National Bank should be followed by other such organisations.
