Jammu, March 19
Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) chairman Harsh Dev Singh has hailed the announcement of free health insurance cover for 1.25 crore residents of J&K, which was announced by the Union Territory administration.
Singh said the decision of the State Administrative Council (SAC), headed by Lt Governor GC Murmu, had come as a pleasant relief to residents, especially the economically weaker and marginalised sections. “It is a monumental decision and would benefit the entire populace as against the earlier schemes that benefitted only a selected few,” Singh said.
The JKNPP has said it was probably the first scheme in any state/ UT which has been conceptualised by a non-political government and the benefits of which would be available to all, irrespective of their social, economic or political status.
