Karachi: Sindh Minister for Sports Mohammed Bux Khan Mahar shared on Monday that action has been taken against those responsible for the mattress controversy during the 17th Annual Sindh Games.
The annual provincial games, which were held from April 19 to April 22, garnered negative publicity after a video of poor quality mattresses being used at the event went viral. An athlete participating in high jump almost fell to the ground due to the poor conditions of mattresses, which were placed there for his safety. This was despite the fact that a budget of over Rs40million was allotted for the sporting event.
The sports minister, told the media that the mattresses were provided by the National Coaching Centre, adding that action has been taken against the centre for providing low-quality mattresses and some sports department officials are also being investigated over the matter.
