Feasibility study for GH-16 Chandigarh, October 27 The emergency building was constructed almost three decades ago and presently has about 44 beds. With pressure of medical facilities mounting on the PGI and the GMCH, the need to expand the emergency has been felt. The additional floor, if permitted under structural safety norms, will mean the General Hospital will have a 100-bed emergency where additional facilities will be created. Official sources say the space to be created will depend upon how much load the old building can take. Within the same building are located the administrative offices of Director Health Services, Medical Superintendent and also the supporting staff of these officials. Sources said everything hinges upon what will be the Engineering department’s opinion on soil testing in and around the area. The strength of the foundation of the building will also be examined before planning anything. Also in the plan is to upgrade the hospital in Mani
Majra. Additional land around the hospital is to be acquired for the expansion project. The polyclinic in Sector 22 will also have added facilities. The TB clinic will be given preference as the number of cases due to the influx of migrant labour keeps on rising.

committees hailed Chandigarh, October 27 In a letter to the minister, the president of the association, Mr R.K.

SPORTS
ROUND-UP Chandigarh All these years, the SAI employees have been trying to get more space so as to build facilities such as a sports hostel, and a sports sciences centre. The move to shift the centre came from Delhi. The Central Zone office of the SAI was shifted recently from Delhi to Bhopal when Ms Bharti showed an interest in having a centre in MP. Some of the employees had to leave Delhi which they did not want. Then this plan to shift the Chandigarh office near Delhi was mooted so that some of these employees could be adjusted in the Sonepat office. Mr Pawan Bansal, the local MP, had sent a representation on behalf of the employees in July that Chandigarh being a nodal place, the SAI centre should not be shifted from here. He said Haryana had allotted 80 acres for the new centre which was actually people’s land. Mr Bansal also pointed out that the centre carried the name of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose but the new centre had been given the name, Devi Lal Sports Centre. He said the name of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose should have been retained. A few days ago Mr Brahm Mohindra, a former minister of Punjab who is also president of the Punjab Fencing Association, had appealed the Punjab Chief Minister, Mr Parkash Singh Badal, to shift the centre to Patiala where the National Institute of Sports is situated. But the question that bothers everyone is why the Chandigarh Administration is silent on the issue. Even the Administrator, Lt Gen (retd) JFR Jacob, himself a keen sports lover, has not spoken on this issue. Sports experts are of the view that if the Haryana Government wants to give land, it should give it in Panchkula where a big sports complex on more than 115 acres is coming up in Sector 3. The other suggestion is to have it at SAS Nagar at the PUDA sports complex, opposite the PCA stadium. LOW KEY WELCOME The city was warm to its two hockey heroes, Inderjit Chadha and Rajpal Singh, who were the pride of the Indian Junior Hockey team that won the Junior World Cup. But the enthusiasm was confined to private individuals whereas the officialdom has remained silent on the issue. People were expecting a suitable response from the authorities. At other places the players were taken in procession in open vehicles but in Chandigarh such enthusiasm was missing. |
