Chief Minister Mahmood Khan unveiled astro-turf at the historic Islamia College University’s newly constructed hockey facility on Wednesday.
“Khyber Pakhtunkhwa would be the first province in Pakistan to have more than 15 astro-turfs, which will promote the national game and explore and train hockey players in the province,” the chief minister said after inaugurating a Rs150 million astro-turf. Three other astro-turfs were approaching completion and would be inaugurated soon, he said.
