Earlier, a PSB official acknowledged to ‘The News’ that documents were recently presented with the PSB that lacked the needed information for issuing of NOC to travel overseas, particularly in India. He asserted that there is a certain protocol and time period for requesting NOC that must be followed.
“The team is to take a trip to India for the South Asian Football Championship. You need a special NOC for the tour to India and besides the Interior Ministry, the permission from the Foreign Office will also be required. The submitted papers lacked required documents and information. In fact, these documents were more about sharing information rather than seeking NOC from the government. We have asked them to submit fresh documents,” the PSB official said.
