Joypurhat Correspondent:

A human chain has been formed demanding reform of the Ad Hoc Committee of the Joypurhat District Sports Association. The human chain was formed in front of the Joypurhat Stadium on Monday (August 8) evening. Various sports organizers and players from the district participated in it.

The speakers included District Football Players Association President Matiur Rahman Hobu, former national football team player Tutul Hossain Badsha, sports organizer Ariful Islam and student representative Hasibul Haque Sanjid.

The speakers said that on August 31, a 9-member ad hoc committee of the District Sports Association was formed with the Deputy Commissioner as the convener and the District Sports Officer as the member secretary. But people who are not involved in sports have also been included in this committee. Players and sports organizers are frustrated due to the ad hoc committee without party affiliation and performance evaluation in the sports arena.

As a result, the development of sports in the district is being severely hampered. For this, we have to accept three demands. The demands are that we want a sports ground free from party affiliation, we want an ad hoc committee for Joypurhat District Sports within the next 3 days where the involvement of everyone in the sports ground should be ensured and the members of the ad hoc committee should be included based on the performance evaluation of the organizers and players related to sports in Joypurhat district in the past days.

If these demands are not met, a strict movement will be launched. Later, a memorandum was given to the member secretary of the District Sports Association and the District Sports Officer.
