Amjad Gill, the Joint Secretary of Sports for the Ministry of Inter-Provincial Coordination (IPC), has taken on additional responsibilities as the Director General of the Pakistan Sports Board (PSB). This decision was made by the IPC Ministry after the current Director General, Yasir Pirzada, left for Saudi Arabia to participate in the Islamic Solidarity Games 2025.
As a result, Amjad Gill will be overseeing the administrative and operational matters of the Pakistan Sports Board until Yasir Pirzada returns from the event. This means that Gill will be handling the day-to-day operations of the PSB, ensuring that its functions and activities continue uninterrupted during Pirzada’s absence.
The Islamic Solidarity Games 2025 are a significant international sporting event, and Yasir Pirzada’s participation is likely to be an important representation of Pakistan’s sporting interests. The event brings together athletes and officials from Islamic countries around the world, providing a platform for cultural exchange, sportsmanship, and competition.
In the meantime, Amjad Gill’s assumption of the additional charge as Director General of the PSB ensures continuity and stability in the organization’s operations. As Joint Secretary of Sports, Gill already has a deep understanding of the Ministry’s goals and objectives, as well as the workings of the PSB. This familiarity will enable him to hit the ground running and make informed decisions on behalf of the organization.
It is expected that Amjad Gill will work closely with other stakeholders and officials to ensure that the PSB’s activities and initiatives continue to progress smoothly during this period. The PSB is responsible for promoting and developing sports in Pakistan, and Gill’s leadership will be crucial in maintaining the organization’s momentum and achieving its objectives.
Overall, the assignment of additional charge to Amjad Gill reflects the IPC Ministry’s confidence in his abilities and its commitment to ensuring the continued success of the Pakistan Sports Board. With Gill at the helm, the PSB is well-equipped to navigate this temporary transition and emerge stronger and more resilient than ever.
