Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann dedicated 75 ‘Aam Aadmi Clinics’ to the people of the state on August 15 to commemorate India’s 75th year of independence. Mann, who hoisted the national flag during a state-level function at Guru Nanak Stadium here, said the mohalla clinics will provide free clinical tests and medicines to patients.
According to him, each of these clinics will have four employees, including an MBBS doctor and a laboratory technician.
“Today, we dedicate 75 mohalla clinics to mark 75 years of Independence,” Mann told the media. More such clinics will be launched in the coming days, he added.
“We had promised to set up mohalla clinics in Punjab. The experiment of setting up such in Delhi has been very successful,” he said.
In response to the Opposition’s criticism of converting buildings of ‘Sewa Kendras’ into ‘Aam Aadmi Clinics,’ Mann stated that the structures had been in shambles and were renovated into ‘Aam Aadmi Clinics’ or mohalla clinics. “We are fulfilling our promises,” the chief minister claimed.
Mann also spoke about his government’s other initiatives such as ‘One MLA, One Pension’ and free electricity.
“After the AAP government was formed, we started taking decisions from Day One, and now, results of these decisions have started coming,” he said. “One MLA, One Pension law has been implemented. We spoke about giving 300 units of free electricity from July 1. In around 20 days, 51 lakh households will get zero electricity bills,” he said.
