Congratulations to Sathish Sivalingam of Tamil Nadu on winning the gold medal in the 77-kg weightlifting event at the Commonwealth Games. It is a proud moment for not only the people of Tamil Nadu but all Indians. Hats off to Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, who has announced a reward of Rs.50 lakh to Sathish, thus encouraging budding sportspersons from the State.

Sathish Sivalingam deserves all praise for setting a Commonwealth Games record in Glasgow. The Tamil Nadu government’s gesture is indeed laudable.
