Sindh Olympics Association Postpones National Games
However, the Sindh Olympics Association has delayed the National Games once more. In a letter to the concerned officials, the association said there were reasons they couldn’t avoid. The games were supposed to start on May 1 in Karachi. Sindh was hosting them after 18 years.
Reports suggest the postponement is due to extreme heat, heatwaves, and intermediate exams. However, the heat in May was expected, and the exam schedule was announced months earlier.
