The meeting aimed to focus on implementing and distributing Ayushman cards and Opening Arogya Mandir in the national capital.
“To implement Ayushman Bharat (scheme), which Delhi has received after years of waiting, we held a meeting today to ensure that all the cards are made and reach the public as soon as possible. All the MLAs have been assigned the task. Efforts are underway to extend benefits to senior citizens aged above 70 years. Work should start immediately to identify the location of 1,139 Arogya Mandirs to be opened in every corner of Delhi, because Delhi has suffered a lot due to the time wasted by the previous governments. We do not want more time to be wasted. Our government will start working on this today, said Chief Minister Gupta.
