After a brief break due to the Lok Sabha elections, the “Mukhyamantri Samipeshu” programme resumed on Thursday to address woes of common men and provide assistance them. Held at the official residence of Chief Minister Prof. (Dr.) Manik Saha, the program saw 22 citizens from various parts of the state directly seeking redress to their concerns and grievances.

Among the attendees were Prasenjit Das from Adarsha Colony in West Jogendranagar, Ranjit Das from Badharghat, Raju Ghosh from Kathaltali, Arpita Debnath from Ranirbazar Madhupur, Uttam Biswas from Bamutia, Tapan Kumar Roy from Baradowali, Shukla Saha from Ramnagar, and Swapan Debnath from Hapania. They primarily sought medical assistance, prompting the Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha to ensure the provision of necessary medical services from a humanitarian perspective.

Chief Minister Dr Saha emphasized the availability of quality medical services within the state, encouraging residents to utilize local healthcare facilities instead of seeking treatment outside. In this context he advised taking advantage of the Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana and Chief Minister Jan Arogya Yojana for better medical support.

During the program, the Chief Minister directed the Superintendents of GBP Hospital and Cancer Hospital to extend their support for the treatment of the attendees. Additionally, on requests from Namita Bhowmik of Dhaleshwar and Alpana Saha of Jirania regarding social security pensions, immediate action was directed to Social Welfare Department Secretary Tapas Roy. The Chief Minister also assured swift resolution of issues related to land, roads, and shop occupancy by coordinating with the Mayor of Agartala Municipal Corporation.
