Table tennis equipment due soon
KARACHI, Jan 13: A consignment of table tennis equipment sponsored by the ITTF and ATTU is due to reach here sometime next month. Manufactured by a Meerut-based international firm, the package included six tables, nets, 80 rackets, six scorers and eight gross balls, secretary PTTF, Mifta Ismail said on Friday.
The details were intimated to the PTTF in two separate communications by the director development, ITTF, Glenn Tepper and ATTU development officer, Afshin Badiee recently.
Pakistan was among the countries which were included in the list by the World and Asian bodies for providing assistance as part of promoting the game.
The country had been provided similar package in the past also by the two international governing bodies of the game.
The CBR has acceded to the PTTF request by providing exemption from customs duty and sales tax on the import.
Meanwhile, the Pakistan Sports Trust (PST) has recently donated 10 Chinese tables to the four provincial Olympic associations for the uplift of the game.
