KP assembly session at cricket stadium marred by logistical issue, mismanagement

The session of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assembly held at a local cricket stadium faced significant administrative and logistical challenges, as technical faults and lapses in protocol disrupted proceedings

PESHAWAR, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 22nd Apr, 2026) The session of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assembly held at a local cricket stadium faced significant administrative and logistical challenges, as technical faults and lapses in protocol disrupted proceedings.

The session, chaired by Speaker Babar Salim Swati on Wednesday, began with persistent issues in the sound system, making it difficult to deliver speeches by assembly members. Media representatives also struggled to cover the event due to the unclear audio.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers, officials, and other attendees present in the stadium were seen using mobile phones and recording videos for platforms such as TikTok.

Assembly staff repeatedly instructed attendees to adhere to designated seating boundaries and refrain from using mobile devices, but compliance remained inconsistent.

Observers said that while holding the session at an unconventional venue attracted attention, it also raised serious questions regarding administrative management and maintenance of order.
