Capt Amarinder's photograph, Congress logo on Fateh kits covered

Jalandhar, January 11

Complying with the Model Code of Conduct norms, the Health Department started covering the photo of former CM Captain   Singh on the ‘Corona Fateh Kits’ with a white paper.

The health staff engaged in the duty said as the picture has been printed on the box itself, it cannot be removed, therefore they have been asked to cover the Congress logo, Capt Amarinder picture and other publicity material with a white paper.

Dr Ranjit Ghotra, Civil Surgeon, said as soon as the ECI guidelines were announced, he passed the orders to the health to remove banners, hoardings and other publicity material from the civil hospital premises.

He said the district has a good stock of Fateh kits and now when cases are on the rise, they have started distributing these to Covid patients being isolated at their homes. When asked if any kits prior to announcement of code were distributed, he said there were not many patients then and the process of distribution has just begun.

It was during the first wave of Covid-19 pandemic, the Health Department under then CM Capt Amarinder Singh launched the “Corona Fateh Kits” that contains medicines and other medical items for the home isolated patients.
