Kohat: The authorities concerned have increased the funds package for constructing the Kohat division stadium from PKR 160 million to PKR 260 million, a news source reported.
According to sources, this decision to revise the amount has been taken to improve the structure and increase the living capacity of the players’ hostel. Regional sports officer Syed Sikandar Shah said that the installation work for floodlights at the stadium and the Qilla Cricket Ground has been completed.
After the completion of the expansion work, the hostel would be able to host up to 36 players at a time. The government recently disbursed PKR 260 million for the project. The divisional administration is also expected to hire a new contractor soon.
Under the revised plan, the hostel building would feature 14 rooms; each on the ground and the first floor. Similarly, the roofs of the gymnasium would be made heatproof.
