Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday issued instructions to the officials to promptly submit applications with the government, requesting financial aid for the treatment of patients suffering from serious diseases.
Yogi issued the instructions during Janata Darshan held at the Gorakhnath temple. Majority of the attendees sought financial assistance from the chief minister for the treatment of their diseases. The chief minister patiently listened to their concerns and assured them swift resolution for their grievances.
When a woman pleaded to the chief minister for financial help for the treatment of a family member admitted in a hospital in Lucknow, which might not qualify for providing medical assistance, the chief minister immediately directed the officials to get the patient shifted to SGPGI or KGMU.
The CM asked the woman if she had the Ayushman card and upon her denial, he assured her financial assistance.
The chief minister directed the officers to make an estimate of the treatment cost and send it to the government as soon as possible. He assured the woman that she would receive a call from the district magistrate regarding financial help for treatment.
The chief minister said once the estimation process was concluded, sufficient funds would be released from the Chief Minister’s Discretionary Fund.
Subsequently, the chief minister handed over the letters of all the individuals to the respective officials and directed them to address the problems of the people sensitively and get them resolved promptly.
The chief minister also distributed chocolates among children accompanying their parents.
Meanwhile, Monday became the most joyous day for Vivek, a differently-abled sweeper, and his wife Sandhya, as their heartfelt desire to have their seven-month-old daughter’s Annaprashan (grain-feeding) ceremony conducted by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was fulfilled.
The chief minister performed the Annaprashan of their daughter in the temple premises.
