New Delhi : Delhi Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung inaugurated the 67th state level TB (Tuberculosis) Seal Sale campaign here exhorting people to contribute generously to help eradicate the illness.


The inaugural event was attended by state Health Minister Satyendra Jain, members of the Executive Committee of the Delhi TB Association and members of various NGOs.


"I appeal to all the citizens of National Capital Territory of Delhi to come forward and join this public health initiative and make generous contribution to the Delhi Tuberculosis Association's 67th TB Seal Campaign. Your contributions will go a long way in helping the neediest of patients suffering from TB," Jung said.
