Govt proposes gym centres at three locations in Puttur
Mangaluru: Puttur MLA Ashok Kumar Rai said that govt gym centres will be established in three locations within the Puttur Assembly constituency. MLA Rai mentioned that he requested the govt to establish these gym centres, and a meeting was also held with the secretary of the department of youth empowerment and sports to seek the release of funds for this purpose.
"People, including youth organisations, have made numerous requests to start gym centres in rural areas. During discussions a few months ago, the minister of youth empowerment and sports agreed to this. Proposals for three gym centres submitted by me have reached the commissioner for the department of youth empowerment and sports. Recently, I held a meeting with the commissioner to discuss these demands comprehensively," the MLA said.
Currently, there is only a gym centre in Puttur city, making it difficult for rural youth to reach the gym on time. If gym centres are established in rural areas, the youth will utilise them. These centres will be set up in three selected locations within the constituency, he said.
For levelling the taluk sports ground to be constructed in Munduru village in Puttur, Rs 8 crore grant is required. The MLA said that he requested the govt secretary of the department of youth empowerment and sports, as well as the commissioner of the department, to release this grant.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander stuns with gold Converse SHAI 001s moments after leading Oklahoma City Thunder to NBA title
(Image Source - Getty Images) Shai Gilgeous-Alexander turned each playoff game into a unique sneaker launch, and the gold SHAI 001 was his most understated yet bold move. It didn't make an appearance in the pregame. It didn't need a dramatic entrance. It only showed up once the game was over. That kind of timing isn't coincidental—it's the outcome of a vision that's been set from day one. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander completes a rare MVP sweep that hasn't been seen in over two decades In the Oklahoma City Thunder's 103-91 Game 7 win over the Indiana Pacers on June 22, Shai was nothing less than phenomenal, racking up 29 points and 12 assists, which clinched him the Finals MVP award. He achieved the impressive feat of winning the scoring title, regular-season MVP, and Finals MVP all in one season—something that hasn't been accomplished since Shaquille O'Neal in 2002. This game also brought the franchise its first title since moving from Seattle in 2008. When Shai returned to the court, his gold SHAI 001s glimmered like the Larry O'Brien Trophy and the Finals MVP award he was carrying. It was a visual shout-out — his way of indicating that this win was as much about individual style as it was about the team's victory. The gold colorway contributes to the ever-growing lineup of SHAI 001 releases: the "Butter" model is expected to be released this Fall for $130, while other styles such as "Masi Blue," "Charm Black," and "Hail Clay" have been showcased during playoffs and Finals, each paying tribute to his loved ones. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bochum: Nur 700 Plätze.

The gold edition isn't just a showy extra — it captures the performance DNA and personal journey he's woven into the silhouette. The reveal of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's gold SHAI 001 after the Thunder's championship goes beyond just fashion—it's the ultimate highlight of a season marked by excellence, creativity, and designs inspired by athletes.
