New Delhi, After a significant delay of eight months, the financially-struggling Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) on Monday finally issued the first installment of the arrears of senior and junior players and staff members.
While the players and the federation’s staff had been waiting for the last eight months to get their dues, the tussle between two groups to get control of the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) — with almost nothing in its bank accounts which had been blocked — only prolonged the financial suffering of the players and the staff.
On Monday, Pakistan Hockey Federation president Tariq Hussain Bugti, in his meetings with national senior team captain Ammad Shakeel Butt and skipper of the junior side Hanan Shahid Butt, ensured them that all the dues would be cleared soon.
