JAMMU: Deputy Chief Minister, Surinder Choudhary, today visited Sub District Hospital Akhnoor and took stock of healthcare facilities available for the patients there. The Dy CM inspected various sections of the hospital and assessed the services being extended to the patients. He interacted with the patients and their attendants, seeking feedback regarding the quality of treatment and related services available at the SDH.
While interacting with them, the Dy CM assured them that the government is focusing on increasing medical care facilities in rural areas so that they can get access near their vicinities. He urged the hospital authorities to ensure timely treatment, streamlined processes and patient-centric care for the patients coming from different far flung areas of the Jammu.
The Dy CM asked for maintaining proper sanitation and hygiene in and around the hospital premises besides checking the availability of medicine, duty rooster and staff strength. He maintained that the government under the leadership of CM Omar Abdullah is committed to provide all modern healthcare facilities and infrastructure to the people at their door steps.
Later, the Deputy Chief Minister visited the Gurudwara Tapo Asthan Sant Baba Sunder Singh Ji at Akhnoor. He paid obeisance at the Gurudwara and prayed for progress, peace and prosperity of J&K. The Gurudwara committee, on the occasion, requested for a cantilever platform in the river Chenab, so that the people can perform the 'Asthi Visarjan' ritual in the river instead of its bank.
It was informed that the DPR with an estimated cost of Rs 4.82 crore for the cantilever platform has already been submitted. Acting swiftly on the demand, the Dy CM allocated Rs 1 crore for the project and directed the department to tender for the same before 20th of July. He also asked for extra budget for beautification of Gurudwara premises and other allied works.
