The Board of Directors of Lahore Electricity Supply Company (LESCO) has decided not to promote national hero and Olympic gold medalist Arshad Nadeem to 19th grade.
According to Samaa News, LESCO Sports Board had recommended promoting Arshad Nadeem from 18th to 19th grade, but the chairman of the new board has yet to agree.
According to the rules, a sportsman can get promoted to a maximum grade of 18. The LESCO board says that the rules have to be changed to promote Arshad Nadeem.
It has been decided that the summary should be sent to the Water and Power Development Authority Pakistan (WAPDA) Sports Board for Nadeem’s promotion.
Earlier, a ceremony was organized at the WAPDA House in honour of the Javelin Hero and other Olympians. Chairman WAPDA Sajjad Ghani awarded Arshad Nadeem a reward of 50 lakh rupees.
