BOONI, Feb 10: The people of Booni have opposed the PTI-led provincial government to establish a stadium at Qaqlasht.
Talking to ChitralToday, the residents of the area said that the construction of the stadium in Qaqlasht would destroy the natural beauty of the plateau. They said that being quite far-off from the populated areas, only an annual festival was arranged in Qaqlasht and the establishment of a stadium there would be of no utility for the youth.
Besides, there is also the shortage of drinking water and other facilities in the hilly area. Instead, they added, the stadium should be built at the Gahli ground adjacent to the Booni town where at present all the sports activities are mostly held.—S.N. Peerzada
