PESHAWAR:

Mayor Peshawar Zubair Ali on Sunday visited Warsk Road Civil Colony and Irrigation Colony and expressed his anger over the dilapidated condition of football ground and directed the concerned quarters to immediately make the ground playable.

During his visit to the Warsak Road Civil and Irrigation Colonies, Mayor Peshawar Haji Zubair also inspected the cricket grounds as well. Haji Zubair expressed his anger on the poor condition of the playgrounds and called the relevant officers on the occasion and issued orders to clean the grounds and make every step for the beautification of the sports grounds.

He also ordered construction of a jogging track on the sides of the cricket and football grounds so that local residents could use these tracks for exercise.

He said the boundary walls should be constructed around the grounds and a beautiful design should be used to make them eye-catching.

The mayor announced installation of tiles on the walls, along with the main official gate and ground along the entry and exit paths. The walls will be printed with sports photos, and new grass will be developed to make the grounds more beautiful besides tree plantation so that families of the two colonies can enjoy quality time there and take part in their study with peace and security.
