Meanwhile, the PHF also got relief for its current Rs300 million deficit. “Since the government is the sole financer of the PHF, I would like to announce that the prime minister has sanctioned Rs120 million for the financial year,”said PHF President Qasim Zia.
Zia also revealed that the bulk of Rs40 million cash award for the team, announced by Gillani for winning the Asian Games’ gold, will be distributed on Thursday. The 22-man contingent will receive Rs1.8 million each.
