He said the camp will be attended by ENT specialists, orthopedic doctors, cardiologists and general physicians.
” We will prepare a schedule in consultation with doctors and circulate them through Whatsapp, banners, posters and other modes of advertisement for public awareness about the medical camp, ” said the official.
Meanwhile, Naman – a city-based social outfit founded by former BJP state spokesperson Amarpreet Singh donated an ambulance for use of local residents.
The air-conditioned ambulance will be used for ferrying patients to hospitals. It will also be used for rushing mishap victims and trauma patients to hospitals.
The ambulance was flagged off last evening in presence of veteran social activist Harivallabh Singh Arsi and veteran trade union leader Rakeshwar Pandey.
