A private TV cameraman on Thursday moved a petition in the Lahore High Court (LHC) against non-payment of compensation announced by the Punjab government.
The petitioner, Aftab Shah, in his petition, said that he was seriously injured when a decorative gate fall on him at Qaddafi Stadium on March 4 during a marathon race. However, the Punjab government admitted its mistake and had announced a compensation of Rs 1,000,000.
He said Sports Directorate had written a letter to Bank of Punjab for the purpose but until now compensation had not been paid despite the fact that many applications were forwarded to bank in this regard.
He pleaded the court to issue directions for the payment of compensation.
