  OOA officals elected uncontested
16 Sep 2008
 

Voting became redundant as all the 22 office-bearers of Orissa Olympic Association (OOA), including president Samir Dey and general secretary Asirbad Behera, were elected unopposed at Cuttack today. The elections, scheduled to be held after the annual general meeting on September 28 became unnecessary since the scrutiny committee received no other nomination paper for verification today. This is the sixth time in a row that Behera was elected as the OOA secretary. Interestingly, he occupied the post for the first time in 1988 when the election was conducted inside the High Court.

 

This is also the fourth time on the trot that secretary Behera was elected uncontested. With this victory, Behera retained his `double` following his triumph as the secretary of Orissa Cricket Association last month. For Samir Dey, who also the Higher Education Minister of the state, this is the second time that he won as the president of OOA. Among other office-bearers, two vice-presidents (Jagamohan Patnaik, Pratap Satpathy) and four council members (Arabinda Kumar Das, Kartikeswar Pradhan, Bijaya Kumar Rout, M A Alam) were newly elected. Office-bearers: President: Samir Dey Vice-presidents (6): Pitambar Jena, Kamala Kanta Pandey, Biranchi Narayan Das, Prasant Kumar Acharya, Jagamohan Patnaik, Pratap Satpathy General secretary: Asirbad Behera Joint-secretaries (2): Manoranjan Mohanty, Ashok Kumar Sahu Treasurer: Adhip Das Council members (11): Aswini Kumar Patnaik, Arabinda Kumar Das, Anup Kumar Patra, Nalini Kumar Das, Rabi Sankar Pratihari, Binod Chandra Dash, Rabindra Kumar Parida, Rusinath Sahu, Kartikeswar Pradhan, Bijaya Kumar Rout, M A Alam.
