"About 10 days ago on Mahatma Gandhi's birth anniversary Mo Sarkar was launched, we focussed on police and health. I have made 120 calls to take people visiting hospitals and police stations to gather their feedback and the response has been overwhelming," the Chief Minister told media persons.
"As part of our strategy, I had sent senior officers across the State with a directive to cover at least 15 districts, the feedback on peoples' participation has been very inspiring and the response by both police and health functionaries in the field has been very encouraging," he said.
Under the new initiative, the state government will provide Rs 15 lakh to all four 'Rogi Kalyan Samities' from Chief Minister Relief Fund (CMRF) for patients' welfare, along with Rs 10 lakh for promotion of blood donation activities.
The doctors of Malkangiri District Hospital will get proper accommodation and attendants.
