The State President, BJP,
Shri Vishal Jolly has
expressed his gratitude to
the Administration for
providing an Operation
Theatre at CHC Bambooflat
which was inaugurated by
the Lt. Governor yesterday.
In a press release received
here today, Shri Jolly said,
the people of rural South
Andaman have been gifted
with an Operation Theatre
at CHC Bambooflat by the
A&N Administration. The
initiative taken by Dr.
Shipra Paul, DHS under the
able leadership of the Lt.
Governor, A&N Islands,
State BJP President hails opening of
Operation Theatre at CHC BambooflatProf. Jagdish Mukhi in
this
regard is commendable
since no such view was
taken by anyone
previously with regard to
extending added health
facilities to the rural folk.
So far the patients of the
area had to come at GB Pant
Hospital, Port Blair for any
kind of operation including
minor ones for want of such
facilities anywhere other
than GB Pant. Soon after
taking over as DHS in 2015,
Dr. Shipra Paul was found
keen in improving the
existing health facilities
extended by the
Administration. The OT
can be of great help to the
poor rural population of
South Andaman,
particularly the area
between Hope Town to
Tushnabad covering about
20,000 population under
10-12 Gram Panchayats.
Most of the opinion leaders
and PRI members have
expressed their gratitude
on setting up of an OT at
CHC Bambooflat which is
considered to be a
milestone in this field. Such
innovative and pro-public
initiatives in the field of
health sector would be
remembered for days to
come, the release added.

hiring coaches: Sports MinisterNew Delhi, Nov 10
The government will have a
say in select ing foreign
coaches for various
disciplines in consultation with
the nat ional federat ions,
which will be made more
accountable, according to
Sports Minister Shri Vijay
Goel.
The minister held a four-hour

personalities such as shooter
Gagan Narang, former
hockey p layers Vi ren
Rasquinha and Jagbir Singh
and former Director Generals
of SAI. Shri Goel said the
meeting was called keeping
in mind preparations for 2020

“The preparations should
begin now. That’s why we
called this meeting. We got
several suggestions. A report
will now be created including
sports infrastructure available
in the country,” Shri Goel
said.
“The Indian coaches will now
be paid from Rs. 50,000 to 2
lakhs. The federations used
to select foreign coaches but
we will advertise the posts to
make the selection, wherever
it is required,” Goel said.
Shri Goel also said that
National Sports Federations
(NSFs) will be made more
accountable and the
tournaments organised by them
will be monitored.
“We will also support the events
which the NSFs will conduct.
There will be accountability. We
have shot letters to NSFs to tell
us about their selection process
and events organized by them.
“It was also suggested that we
need more sports science
centres. They will be set up at
4-5 Universities. And if a player
or an Association or an NGO
start an academy, the
government will support that
venture. They can use our
infrastructure.” Shri Goel said
efforts will be made to have
star players compete at the
national championships so
that the next generations get
exposure to good
competition.
The Minister said they have
asked Finance Minister Shri
