No hockey ground

Published January 2, 2020

HOCKEY is our national game, but, unfortunately, there is no hockey ground in Turbat, which is the largest city of Balochistan after Quetta. The absence of a hockey ground in Turbat has disappointed youngsters interested in hockey. We have a large number of cricket and football grounds, but when it comes to our national game hockey, one cannot find a single ground here.

Lack of government will to promote our national game is disappointing.
