<B>A new textile star shines in Flacq</B>
The Star Knitwear group opened a new production unit in Argy, Flacq, last week. New Sunline Ltd is the latest proof of success for the group led by Ali Parkar. During the inauguration of the new unit, the prime minister, Navin Ramgoolam, said the country needed more entrepreneurs like the Parkar family. Instead of complaining about the end of preferences, the group has adopted a new approach based on efficient production, innovative technologies and investment in research and development of new products. This is the key to success and other companies should follow the lead…
<B>Torturer or victim?</B>
Each day may be like the last one for nurses in hospitals. But one nurse at Rose-Belle hospital would gladly have done without last Monday. Eshan Aubeeluck, 39, is provisionally accused of assaulting a public officer on duty after having allegedly slapped the nurse. He was released after paying Rs 15,000 bail. One of the victim’s colleagues had a confrontation with the suspect and has formally identified him. In his statement to the police, Eshan Aubeeluck said he had taken his mother for treatment in hospital on the day before the incident. As he arrived the next day, he saw the nurse giving little slaps to his mother… He could not control his anger, he said.
Dr Neerunjun Gopee new CMO </B>

He was then consultant at the ministry of Health for ten years before becoming World Health Organisation representative until 2000.
<B>Pointing at poor infrastructure in schools</B>
A report from the Mauritius Audit Bureau (MAB) became public three years after its completion. The report is no less damning than the blue print of the Private Secondary Schools Authority (PSSA) submitted to the ministry of Education last month. They both point at the poor infrastructure of a great number of these schools.
The MAB made it clear that 23 of the 87 schools visited in connection with the report did not have the minimum level of infrastructure required. Since the publication of this report in 2003 no step have been taken. Three years later, a large number of pupils are still being taught in substandard schools.
