He said the government was trying to provide all kinds of facilities to the public. At the event, he praised social welfare organisations and social workers for their work.
“Social organisations play an important role in providing benefits of government schemes to the lower strata of society. Therefore, we should support them so that the benefits of these schemes can reach beneficiaries,” Rana said. During the programme, Rana provided wheelchairs, including electric ones, to those in need.
Appreciation certificates were also given to several individuals — including Sanjha Radio managing director Rahul Singh; social worker Narendra Kumar; Civil Surgeon Dr Manjeet Singh and Sub-District Civil Hospital Medical Superintendent Dr Anuj Mangla.
