World-class Aquatics Centre to be built in Ahmedabad for 2030 Commonwealth Games

A world-class Aquatics Centre will be constructed at the SVP Sports Enclave for the 2030 Commonwealth Games (CWG) to be held in Ahmedabad. According to a report by The Times of India, this centre will provide facilities of three pools in accordance with international standards.

Through this project, a state-of-the-art infrastructure for water sports will be developed at the Sports Enclave, which will prove crucial for the 2030 Games. The centre will include all necessary facilities for global-level competitors.

On the other hand, a case of serious irregularities has emerged at the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation-run SVP Hospital. According to a report by Sandesh, it has been revealed that there is a black market for surgical instruments allocated for the treatment of poor patients under the Central Government's Ayushman Bharat - PMJAY scheme.

In this scam, serious allegations have been made that surgical instruments worth approximately ₹39.78 lakh were repeatedly sold from the hospital. This irregularity was carried out cunningly without the knowledge of the hospital's senior officials. In this matter, around 8 doctors of the hospital have come directly under suspicion. Preliminary investigations have revealed that these instruments were obtained by illegally using the names of patients or identity cards of other individuals. One doctor has also confessed to officially issuing 90 surgical drapes. Despite such a major irregularity coming to light, no legal or criminal action has been taken by the hospital administration so far.
