Mumbai: Aiming for a Guinness World Record, Maharashtra Water Resources Minister Girish Mahajan is planning to organise world's largest eye checkup camp in Jalgaon district in about two months' time.
The minister had organised a mega health camp in Jalgaon, his home district, two weeks ago, in which a team of top surgeons in the state conducted a whopping 4,500 angioplasty operations in different private hospitals.
"The eye checkup camp will be a milestone in the state's medical history. We will conduct not only cataract operations but also eye replacement surgeries. Yes, a world record is on my mind," he said.
The thought of setting the Guinness World Record occurred to Mahajan after the mega camp elicited a very good response.
The 55-year-old minister, however, refuted the charge that he is resorting to populism and not pursuing development.
