Adani Gangavaram port installs 6 traffic lights
To enhance road safety and ease congestion, the port installed six traffic lights on the key roads connecting NH-16 with Pedagantyada and Gangavaram villages. These signals aim to streamline traffic flow, especially during peak hours, and reduce accident risk. The port and Adani Foundation consistently maintain these roads, reflecting their dedication to public welfare.
Furthering its commitment to public health, Adani Gangavaram Port was awarded by the Indian Red Cross Society for organising the highest blood donorship event in the region. The honour was conferred by Minister for Health Satya Kumar Yadav on the occasion of the World Blood Donor Day.
Speaking on the initiatives, the port management said, 'Whether it is road safety or healthcare, we are dedicated to building a safer, healthier society through sustained CSR efforts. We thank our teams and community partners for their unwavering support.'

Surrogacy racket: Min Satyakumar Yadav orders review of fertility centres across Andhra Pradesh
VIJAYAWADA: Health Minister Satyakumar Yadav has ordered a thorough review of fertility centres across Andhra Pradesh following reports of irregularities at a facility in Hyderabad. Concerned by discrepancies, the minister instructed officials to examine the functioning of all fertility clinics and submit a detailed report on licensing, inspections, operations, and regulatory compliance. According to official sources, there is a mismatch between the number of fertility centres licensed by District Medical and Health Officers (DMHOs) and those listed online, suggesting the presence of unauthorised facilities. Minister Yadav reminded that DMHOs are responsible for issuing licences and overseeing daily operations of hospitals and fertility centres. He warned of strict action against clinics operating without valid licences or violating health protocols. The minister called for a district-wise report detailing licensed and unlicensed centres, inspections conducted in 2024–25, violations found, complaints received, actions taken, and centres denied permission. Urgency intensified after a surprise inspection at Universal Health Care Centre in Vijayawada by NTR District DMHO Dr Suhasini. The centre, sanctioned under the name Namrata, was closed, and its doctor was recently arrested for alleged violations. A preliminary report was submitted to the minister's office.

ACB flags major lapses at NTR Hospital; 22 medical staff face action
VIJAYAWADA: Health Minister Satya Kumar Yadav has ordered a swift inquiry into serious irregularities at NTR Hospital in Anakapalle, following an Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) report indicting 22 medical personnel. The report, based on a surprise inspection in February 2020 and submitted in June this year, recommended major penalties against the then District Coordinator of Health Services (DCHS), nine doctors, and 12 nurses. Citing lapses such as unauthorised canteen operations, failure to disclose patient meal details, irregular civil works, poor food quality monitoring, and mismanagement of hospital duties, the report painted a grim picture of hospital administration. The DCHS was specifically accused of failing to enforce staff attendance and neglecting key supervisory responsibilities. Disciplinary action has also been recommended against nine doctors for negligence, and 12 nurses for patient overexposure, poor hygiene, lack of diet charts, and improper medicine documentation. The Minister also ordered action against a driver for fuel misappropriation worth Rs 74,000 and a sanitation worker for unauthorised medical dressing duties. Reaffirming his commitment to reform public healthcare, Minister Yadav said the move underscores the government's zero-tolerance approach to corruption and inefficiency. Since assuming office, he has prioritised staff accountability, regular inspections, and performance-based transfers. In recent months, the government has reassigned hospital superintendents, medical college principals, office superintendents, and clerical staff to plug loopholes in governance. Non-performers were removed and replacements appointed on merit. Field-level officers, including District Medical and Health Officers (DMHOs), were instructed to ensure strict implementation of health schemes and maintain discipline in operations. Calling the ACB report a reminder of past administrative failures, the Minister assured continued reforms to restore public confidence in government hospitals and ensure better service delivery.
