MECHUKA, Nov 8: State Legislative Assembly Speaker, P D Sona, on Friday called upon the District Olympic Associations (DOAs), especially that of the Shi-Yomi district to give platforms to the local youths to showcase their talents.
“There is no dearth of talent among youths, but what they need is a stage and opportunity. I hope the newly formed Shi-Yomi District Olympic Association (SYDOA) would facilitate the same to the youths of the district,” Sona said while addressing its first general body meeting. The Speaker while suggesting the executive members of SYDOA to channelize the youths of district through games and sports, also asked them to work in unison while taking suggestions from the senior members of the society. Further, while citing examples of sportspersons Joti Mane and Anu Komi, he added that games and sports will not only help one stay fit but also bring laurels to the district and state. 
Shi-Yomi Deputy Commissioner, Mito Dirchi suggested the new team to work in an organized manner so that the local talents are given equal opportunity to perform. SYDOA President Aling Pinggam highlighted the aims and objectives of the sitting and informed that the association was formed to facilitate equal opportunities to the aspiring sportspersons and local talents of the district. Earlier in the day, Sona visited the sub-divisional library here and took stock of the establishment. The library was inaugurated by the then Chief Minister Gegong Apang in 1994.
Taking serious note of the dismal condition of the library, Speaker called for its proper maintenance. Sona, who is also the local legislator, assured to look into the infrastructure needs of the establishment.  Speaker Media Cell
