Gorakhpur, June 22 : Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday directed the officials to get on priority basis Ayushman Health Cards made for those needy persons who have been deprived of the facility so far.
Listening to the problems of around 700 people during the Janata Darshan held outside Mahant Digvijaynath Smriti Bhawan at Gorakhnath Temple, Yogi said: “Protecting public health is our responsibility, so money should not be an obstacle in anyone’s treatment.”
He said, “For those whose Ayushman cards have not been made, better arrangements should be made in the medical college for their treatment, and if needed, an estimate for treatment in the higher center should be prepared and made available to the government so that funds could be released from the CM Discretionary Fund for their treatment as soon as possible.”
The CM reached out to the people seated on chairs and after listening to their issues referred their applications to the concerned authorities and reassured them of satisfactory and just solution.
People from other districts also came for public darshan. The CM assured the people who came to the Janata Darshan seeking financial assistance for the treatment of serious diseases that there would be no dearth of funds for their treatment.
He said, ‘After taking the estimate from the concerned hospital, it should be made available to the Chief Minister’s office after completing the process. The assistance amount will be released immediately from the Discretionary Fund.
On complaints related to police and revenue, Yogi said that the officers should ensure the solution of the problem at the district level itself.
He said that any kind of negligence in resolving their problems will not be tolerated. “A fair solution to every person’s problem with full commitment and transparency is the topmost priority of the administration and negligent officials will be punished. The officers should sensitively listen to the problems of the people and ensure quality, quick solutions,” he said.
The CM also visited the cowshed on temple premises and did goseva. He affectionately called the cows by their names, and the cows came running to him. He then fed them jaggery.
