Rohtak, August 20

Badkhal MLA-cum-chairperson of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha committee on Education and Health Services Seema Trikha on Thursday was at Rohtak to take a stock of Covid-control measures.

Trikha said the spices commonly used in Indian kitchens were like medicines and had been found effective in strengthening health and boosting immunity. Serving Ayush ‘kadha’ and circulating public messages of social and religious leaders through social media has proved helpful in combating the virus in Faridabad said the MLA.

“I sought feedback and suggestions regarding improvement in Covid-control arrangements from Rohtak district MLAs, including Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Shakuntala Khatak, Bharat Bhushan Batra and Balraj Kundu, before coming to Rohtak for the meeting, but all of them said the arrangements were alright,” Trikha told reporters after holding a meeting with officials of the Health Department, PGIMS, district administration and municipal corporation.

The committee directed the officials concerned to ensure proper care of Covid as well as non-Covid patients.

“Arrangements should be made to provide Covid-testing facilities at the doorstep of pregnant women, elderly and those suffering from chronic ailments such as cancer and kidney failure,” Trikha told the officers.

Hisar MLA Dr Kamal Gupta, Indri MLA Ram Kumar Kashyap and Kalanwali MLA Shishpal Singh also took feedback from local officials regarding the Covid-control measures and facilities.

Rohtak Divisional Commissioner D Suresh, Additional Deputy Commissioner Mahender Pal, Civil Surgeon Dr Anil Birla, PGIMS Director Dr Rohtas K Yadav and State Nodal Officer (Covid-19) Dr Dhruva Chaudhry apprised the committee members of the Covid-control arrangements made during the prevalence of the pandemic.
