He did the impossible, says wife of Paralympics silver medallist and Noida DM Suhas LY
In
doing
so,
the
38-year-old
district
magistrate
of
Gautam
Buddh
Nagar
(Noida)
also
became
the
first-ever
IAS
officer
to
have
not
only
participated
but
also
won
a
medal
in
the
Paralympics.
Tokyo
Paralympics:
Never
been
so
happy
and
disappointed
at
the
same
time
in
my
life:
Suhas
“We
are
very
proud
of
him.
Whatever
he
has
done
is
a
live
example
for
all
of
us.
It
was
an
impossible
attempt,
I
believe.
Wins
and
losses
are
part
and
parcel
of
life
but
the
way
he
put
in
all
his
efforts
is
what
I
am
going
to
remember
forever,”
Ritu,
who
is
an
additional
district
magistrate
in
Ghaziabad,
told
PTI.
“The
race
for
medals
is
endless.
Today
it’s
silver,
tomorrow
it’s
gold.
Then
it
would
be
something
else.
The
biggest
achievement
is
participating
in
a
world
tournament
and
realising
a
long-nurtured
dream,”
she
said.
Congratulatory
phone
calls
and
messages
including
those
from
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi
and
Uttar
Pradesh
Chief
Minister
Yogi
Adityanath
poured
in
after
the
victory.
“Bringing
glory
to
India
and
Uttar
Pradesh
at
the
world
stage
is
the
achievement,”
Ritu
said.
Suhas
and
Ritu
got
married
in
2008.
They
have
a
daughter
and
a
son.
