Kejriwal Issues Second Order From ED Custody, Calls Special Assembly Session Tomorrow To Discuss Health Services
Days after Kejriwal's arrest by the ED in the Delhi Liquor Policy case, the Delhi government has called a special assembly session to discuss issues pertaining to health facilities.
Arvind Kejriwal News: The Delhi Government has decided to convene a special assembly session on Wednesday to discuss the issue of health services in the national capital. This came after CM Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday sent his second set of instructions to his Cabinet colleagues. Delhi minister Saurabh Bhardwaj said the CM had asked him to take steps to alleviate difficulties faced by people at Mohalla clinics and resolve their troubles.
Bharadwaj has asked the chief secretary to give a status report on the free medicines and free tests in hospitals and mohalla clinics. The Health Minister has said that if there is a shortage of free medicines, then the chief secretary should come up with an action plan to fix the issue. He further asked the chief secretary to also give a complete plan to tackle the issue of a shortage of free tests, if there is any.
Earlier in the day, speaking at a press conference, the Delhi Health Minister said that the Delhi CM is worried about the health of the people in the national capital despite being in jail.
"Despite being in jail, he (Arvind Kejriwal) is worried about the health of the people of Delhi. He has issued me a direction in this regard. In his direction, he said that free medicines are not available in some of the Delhi hospitals and mohalla clinics. Besides, free tests are also not being conducted in some of them. He has directed me to solve these issues," Saurabh Bharadwaj said.
