A free health check-up camp was organised for workers at Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Chamba, at its under-construction campus at Sarol. The camp was conducted by the Himachal Pradesh Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board, Chamba, in collaboration with the Health Department. A total of 105 workers engaged in the construction work of the medical college underwent comprehensive health check-ups.
