he capital city’s first urban health and wellness centre had been inaugurated at VSS Nagar by Bhubaneswar North MLA Susant Kumar Rout, BMC Mayor Sulochana Das and Commissioner Vijay Amrute Kulange in September 2022.
Later, from March 10, 2023 yoga and physiotherapy sessions were conducted here daily. However, recently, instructions were issued to conduct physiotherapy and yoga sessions only for 10 days in a month. This was done on the instructions of the National Health Missions Director’s letter on April 25,2023.
The VSS Nagar Unnayan Parishad has opposed the decision and said the physiotherapy and yoga sessions should be conducted regularly as they were done earlier or else, the Parishad would be forced to embark on an agitation, said Parishad general secretary Dillip Dashsharma.
