As part of the inauguration, a badminton court was officially opened inside the indoor stadium, where the dignitaries took part in a game of badminton.
Addressing the gathering, the mayor said that, as Gajuwaka is an industrial hub, there is a strong need to provide a recreational and wellness-oriented sports complex for the public. He urged residents to maintain cleanliness and make regular use of the facilities to safeguard their health.
Vizag MP M Sribharat expressed his pleasure at such a state-of-the-art stadium being made accessible to the people of Gajuwaka. He suggested to the Mayor that a pickleball court also be established at the complex soon. He noted that, due to increasing dependence on mobile phones, people are neglecting physical activity, exercise, and mental well-being, leading to various health issues. He called on parents to encourage their children to participate in sports, highlighting the vital role that sports play in promoting good health.

Sadar hosp starts liver, pancreas and biliary treatment services
Ranchi: Sadar hospital in the state capital launched its new liver, pancreas, and biliary system OPD on Sunday. Liver specialist Dr Praveen Kumar from Kolkata conducted his first outpatient service, advising three patients on issues related to fatty liver and other hepatic ailments. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to experts, the initiative is part of a health campaign titled Fatty Liver Free Ranchi, which aims to raise awareness and ensure early detection and treatment of liver-related diseases, particularly fatty liver, which is increasingly being diagnosed even in children. During the consultations, Dr Praveen advised patients to undergo specific diagnostic tests and adopt dietary changes as preventive measures. "Early detection and timely lifestyle correction can prevent liver disease from escalating," said Dr Praveen. His consultation is completely free, with only a Rs 10 registration fee. Civil surgeon Dr Prabhat Kumar emphasised the importance of such specialist services at the district level. He said, "Dr Praveen is an expert in treating diseases of the liver, pancreas, and biliary system. Most liver conditions, if diagnosed early, can be managed at home through appropriate treatment. Around 10 to 20 percent of patients, however, reach the stage of acute or chronic liver failure and may require ICU-level care. We are preparing to offer such advanced support at Sadar hospital itself," he said. "Children are becoming increasingly vulnerable due to sedentary lifestyles. This condition, earlier seen only in adults, is now being detected in school-age kids," added Dr Prabhat. The hospital is also working in collaboration with schools to spread awareness. Dr Prabhat said, "We recently held discussions with school principals to educate students about liver health. The goal is to promote healthier habits early in life. "

4 Players Sunrisers Hyderabad Might Release Before IPL 2026 Auction: Ishan Kishan, Mohammed Shami And...
photoDetails english 2931350 Updated:Jul 13, 2025, 08:06 PM IST 1. Ishan Kishan 1 / 8 India wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan was acquired by Sunrisers Hyderabad for a massive Rs. 11.40 crore at the IPL 2025 Mega Auction. However, Ishan has failed to perform up to the expectations in the IPL 2025 season. The 26-year-old Ishan started his IPL 2025 with a century against Rajasthan Royals. However, he failed to produce big knocks after that century, scoring 354 runs in 14 matches of IPL 2025 so far. Considering his high salary and low return, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) might consider releasing Ishan before the IPL 2026 auction. Ishan Kishan's IPL Record 2 / 8 Ishan Kishan, a left-handed wicketkeeper-batter, has scored 2998 runs in 119 IPL matches with an average of 29.10 and strike rate of 137.64 so far. 2. Heinrich Klaasen 3 / 8 Sunrisers Hyderabad retained Heinrich Klaasen for a whopping Rs 23 crore ahead of the IPL 2025 auction. However, Klaasen wasn't at his best in IPL 2025 season, scoring 487 in 14 matches. Given his massive salary and low returns, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) might consider releasing Klaasen before the IPL 2026 auction. Heinrich Klaasen's IPL Record 4 / 8 Heinrich Klaasen, who is known for his ability to smash bowlers all around the park, has scored 1480 runs in 49 IPL matches so far, with an average of 40.00 and strike rate of 169.72. 3. Mohammed Shami 5 / 8 Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) bought Mohammed Shami for a massive Rs 10 crore at the IPL 2025 auction. However, the veteran Indian pacer was very ordinary with the ball, picking just 6 wickets in 9 matches with a poor economy rate of 11.23 during the IPL 2025 season. Given his salary, fitness and form, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) might consider releasing Shami before the IPL 2026 auction. Mohammed Shami's IPL Record 6 / 8 Mohammed Shami, one of India's most prolific pace bowlers, who is known for his immaculate seam position, has picked 133 wickets in 119 IPL matches, with an economy rate of 8.63 so far. 4. Rahul Chahar 7 / 8 Sunrisers Hyderabad spent Rs 3.20 crore in the mega auction to acquire Rahul Chahar for IPL 2025. However, SRH didn't trust Chahar enough as he played just one match and bowled one over during the IPL 2025 season. Given the lack of trust and decent salary, it seems like Sunrisers Hyderabad will release Rahul Chahar before the IPL 2026 auction. Rahul Chahar's IPL Record 8 / 8 India leg-spinner Rahul Chahar has picked 75 wickets in 79 IPL matches with an economy of 7.72 so far.
